A man who arrives unexpectedly at the Bashkirtseff home on May 3, 1873. Marie is surprised but very happy to see him, and describes him as "Pauvre homme ! voilà encore une vie brisée !" (Poor man! there's another broken life!).
The use of patronymic (Stepanovitch = son of Stepan) indicates he is Russian. His unexpected arrival and Marie's comment about his "broken life" suggest he may be fleeing some personal crisis or tragedy.
