It no longer is - not in modern Russian - but that's the etymology! In the Old Church Slavonic it was widely used for heretics and other people who were perceived to be headed in a decidedly wrong direction, morals- and behaviour-wise. So

>Like would it be extra appropriate in light of Helene's later conversion to Roman Catholicism, or no?

I believe it would.

I think it is also a nice touch that "razvrat" is and has been used to mean immoral enjoyment of excessive wealth, which is of course directly connected to its sexual connotations. I imagine this is largely what Pierre means when he thinks of her, that she's got so much and uses it in such a disgusting manner.

:D Thank you; I'm happy I could help. It's a pleasure talking about things like this.
