Abstract
The article introduces the interpretation of the two Valery Bryusov's works — the poem To a Young Poet and the novel Mozart from the perspective of the chosen Nietzsche's philosophical concepts. It aims at the examination of the problem to what extent Valery Brjusov is, being directly or indirectly influenced by Nietzsche's thinking, constant in his works. The article also provides the interpretation of the transformation of Bryusov's thinking, which is, to a certain extent, conditioned by the conception of the world and its aesthetics according to the first generation of symbolists in Russia. The author comes to the conclusion that Valery Bryusov is coincident with the aesthetic conception of Nietzsche's philosophy so typical of French modernism. However, using irony, Bryusov is able to point out particular Nietzsche's requirements on the reader which were, for the majority of people, impossible to meet.
