Abstract

We judge the past calmly and take it for granted. It was allowed to contemporaries to create history. We should only understand it. As a work of art. Against this background, it is psychologically clear why Nietzsche’s ideas, which are especially understandable not only to the German but also to the Russian reader, spread so rapidly in Russian society over a hundred years ago. In Western, primarily American and German literature, a lot of special work has been devoted to the problem of understanding Nietzsche’s ideological heritage in Russia. There are a number of studies devoted to the influence of Nietzsche’s teaching on the spiritual tradition not only of Western and Eastern Europe, but also of America, and even of Asia. The article contains a comparison of worldviews, poetics and creative manners of outstanding writers of the early 20th century — L. Andreev, M. Bulgakov, M. Zoshchenko, M. Gorky, etc. The author states the uniqueness of their artistic tasks and artistic techniques in the context of the philosophical ideas of the” silver age”. This era created the future of Russia, simultaneously and in passing broke its traditions.
