The article represents another stage of study of social-religious D.S. Merezhkovsky and Z.N. Hippius’s experiment which was aimed at transformation of spiritual-bodily nature of a human-being. The author analyzed philosophical-publiсistic sources thoroughly as well as letters and memoirs and it enabled the author to show that the idea of religious “gender transformation”, used as a basis by Z. Hippius in her relationship with D.V. Philosophov, revealed its inverted-erotic nature, served a reason for gradual destruction of the utopian “The Main”.
Keywords: creativity of life, sacred flesh, the community of the transformed gender, new Christian love, Z. Hippius, D.V. Philosophov.
