Nietzsche in Russia

Directed by Nina Shorina

With Daniel Olbrychski, Grigoriy Bagrov, Nikolai Leshchukov, Antonina Venediktova and Aleksandr Vorobyov

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche never went to Russia – yet he was always fascinated by this mysterious country and wanted to visit it. This film gives him the possibility to do so after all. However, Nietzsche doesn’t arrive in 19th century Russia, but in a modern country which has been trying for years to create the civilization described by Nietzsche 150 years ago.
