Initially, Stepan Trofimovich intended to spend his spare time studying the literature and history and writing scientific works, but as a result he grew old with maps, champagne and aimless liberal chatter. After that, the former teacher remained in the position of a friend and apprentice in the estate of Stavrogin, later moved to his own house, but continued to see Varvara Petrovna often and depended financially on her.

There Stepan Trofimovich brought up and taught little Nicholai, having managed 'to evoke in him the first, still vague sense of that everlasting, sacred melancholy', which he did not exchange for 'cheap satisfaction,' but, according to the narrator, the student was very fortunate that at the age of 15 he was torn off from an inordinately sensitive and tearful teacher and sent to study at the lycée. At the same time he assured everyone that he was sent into exile and was under observation, and he himself so sincerely believed that he was offended by any attempts to dissuade him. However, after the police found his poem on a mythological plot that could be considered dangerous, and an inadvertent letter, he hastened to give up his short teaching activities and go to Varvara Petrovna's estate to train her son. As the chronicler observes in his youth, under Nicholas I, he began read a lecture course at the university. Stepan Trofimovich Verkhovensky is a teacher of Nikolai Stavrogin, father of Peter Stepanovich (the only son of his first marriage, was married twice). He is a participant in the key events of the novel on a par with Peter Verkhovensky, who is trying to involve Stavrogin in his plans.
