This paper is devoted to the study over F. Nietzsche’s influence on the early works of V. Mayakovsky. Particular attention is paid to the problem of the genesis of important poetic elements and motifs in the early works of Mayakovsky, as well as the connection of the main idea of Nietzsche with the cultural situation at the beginning of the 20th century in Russia. Nietzsche, who rejected general Western ideas and the idea of absolute truth, had a great influence on the development of philosophy and literature in the 20th century. In Russia, the spread of Nietzscheanism was facilitated by the atmosphere of overcoming decadent moods and searching for new values of the early 20th century, especially in the context of the revolution. Nietzsche’s philosophy, represented by ‘the revaluation of all values’, is wholly intertwined with the aesthetic essence of Russian Futurism, primarily by the pathos of revealing the creative possibilities of the individual, free from the power of all kinds of dogma. For Mayakovsky, especially his philosophical novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which expresses his later philosophy such as the doctrine of the ‘Übermensch’ and the idea of ‘eternal recurrence’, was also an important poetic source. This paper compares Nietzsche’s philosophical novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra and early works of Mayakovsky, especially his play Vladimir Mayakovsky: A Tragedy, in terms of themes, motifs and vocabularies, and furthermore examines how Nietzsche's later philosophy, represented by ‘Übermensch’, ‘eternal recurrence’ and ‘theomachism’, was reflected in the early works of Mayakovsky. This is essential to identify the origin of the Mayakovsky works and understand the essence of his Futurism, characterized by ‘hyperbolic lyricism’ and ‘tragedy’.
