Dear Colleen,

Do you mean a kind of blending of Dionysus and Christ? Then the figure of 
Viacheslav Ivanov crops up. In the beginning of the 20th Century, he tried to 
reconcile Nietzsche's idea of the Dionysian, his anthropology of the 
/Übermensch/ and Christ in his religious syncretism. Belyi also created a kind 
of Dionysian Christ.

Try Edith Clowes, /The Revolution of Moral Consciousness. Nietzsche in Russian 
literature, 1890-1914, /Northern Illinois Uni. Press, 1988. There is a chapter 
on (as I recall right) Blok, Belyi's and Ivanov's concept of the Dionysian 
Christ.

For Ivanov's use of Nietzsche in his creation of his religious consciousness, 
see 
Biebuyck, B., Grillaert, N., "Between God and Übermensch:Vyacheslav Ivanov and 
his vacillating struggle with Nietzsche, in /Germano-Slavica/ 14, 2003, pp. 
55-73. 
Hope this was helpful,

Nel Grillaert
