Dressed as a beggar, Alexy first lived on the church porch, and then spent 17 years under the porch of his parents’ house. Only when he died did Alexy’s family and wife recognize him – and then not by his appearance, but by the letter in his hand.

The deep meaning of the name Alexey was wonderfully revealed by P. Florensky:

“The names Alexander and Alexey manifest almost opposite signs and yet are metaphysically very close to each other, and in Alyosha there is some softening or softening of the name Alexander, as a result of which the basic balance in it is disturbed: Alexander is a solid body, crystalline. Alexey is the same Alexander, but near the melting point. Alexander stands, Alex falls, always falls, and there is not a single vertical in him...

In Alyosha there is the same proportionate proportion of personality elements, in themselves, taken separately, but the totality of those that fall into the realm of consciousness is no longer proportional to the totality of the elements of the subconscious. By shifting the level of consciousness in Alexander, and precisely by raising this level significantly upward, we thereby get Alexey... If we imagine Alyosha acquiring such consciousness and intelligence, but without changing the depth of the subconscious that he had, then Alyosha would cease to be Alexey and would become Alexander, but not an ordinary Alexander, but a great one, a genius. But the fact of the matter is that the structure of Alexei’s personality is such that any increase in consciousness in him leads to an accelerated, in comparison with the growth of consciousness, growth of the subconscious roots of the personality; Growing spiritually, Alyosha becomes even more Alyosha, but in the extreme he strives for foolishness...

When Alexander’s degree of consciousness decreases, for example due to illness, etc., he shifts somewhat towards Alexey, just as Lekha’s shift towards Alexander occurs with a temporary aggravation of consciousness. But for both, these shifts are only temporary deviations from their own inherent correlation of personality elements, and, having undergone a shift, both of them usually return to their own type.

A man named Alyosha is thin and in another sense - not strong, has little self-control, does not control himself, therefore, does not know how and does not want to express himself in coherent and open creativity; it gives more sparkles, individual stars, self-sufficient penetration, rather than a long-lasting radiance or even a powerful flash. The name Alexey is a capricious and whimsical mind, sometimes insightful, sometimes refusing to act, and medium-sharp.

His will does not keep up with the impressions of his feelings, and through the mind, accumulating and generalizing in him, they cannot act according to their mutual combativeness. Hence the helplessness in a man named Alexey, although in the sense of the elementary structure of life Alyosha can adapt; Despite his helplessness, and perhaps precisely because of it, Alyosha is characterized by cunning, not cunning, but precisely cunning in the mind. A man named Lekha is a cunning man. It is not for the worse, or not for the greater harm, but rather a means of self-defense... a kind of mimicry: and hence his craving for foolishness.

If Alexei is reputed to be stupid, then he will show more stupidity than he really is, laughing in his heart that with this mask he fooled those who wanted to take advantage of his helplessness. If he stutters, then in other cases he will pretend to stutter more than he really does, when it is necessary to hide absent-mindedness or ignorance. Alyosha is simple and simple-minded; but, in addition, he forgives himself for simplicity, cultivates in himself the subtlety and looseness of the mind, and seeing in it the refinement of the spirit, and instinctively masking his helplessness...”
