WORLD WITHOUT GOD OF S.D. KRZHIZHANOVSKY

Abstract

The article studies the poetic world of S.D. Krzhizhanovsky. The main task of the research is to see how his philosophical point of view is reflected in his works. In the research the following features are identified. Following the famous statement of F. Nietzsche about the death of God, the writer continues to develop the designated philosophical maxim. Doubt in the existence of God becomes the leitmotif of all his work. The very concept of God is desacralized. This is confirmed by the blasphemous assumptions of the disappearance of the Almighty. The irreligion causes irreversible consequences in the minds of the characters. They lose spiritual support and are exposed to influences from the metaphysical outside. The world itself becomes a space of death. A marker of this is the personified image of Nothing. The designated image is read in the light of biblical connotations: a harbinger of the coming apocalypse. Despite the variety of masks, the essence of the Antichrist remains unchanged.
