Severny Vestnik
"The Death of the Gods" which came out in 1895 ("Severny Vestnik", Nos.1–6) opened the "Christ &amp; Antichrist" trilogy and in retrospect is regarded as the first Russian symbolist novel. Sceptics prevailed (most of them denouncing the author's alleged Nietzscheanity), but the allies were ecstatic. "A novel made for eternity," Bryusov marveled. Five years later "Julian the Apostate" was published in France, translated by Zinaida Vasilyeva.
