Abstract
The article shows that Petrushevskaya suggests her own concept of the “Nietzschean” personality type in two gender variations, despite all the differences between the “masculine” (the intellectual quest) and “feminine” (the protection of offsprings) Nietzscheanism types, they have a common vector and are paradoxically directed to the eternal, universal humanistic values. Petrushevskaya draws attention to the dangers in the superficial understanding of Nietzsche’s ideas, here she is close to the tradition of the Russian classical literature which, at the times of Romanticism, posed the problem of immoralism and “superman” (“we all thrive to become Napoleons; millions of two-legged creatures are just one tool for us…” A. S. Pushkin
