In this article we are showing inner connections in genesis of Czech and Russian literature at the end of 19th and beginning of 20th century. Our interest was focused mainly on metamorphoses of aesthetic-philosophical approaches of O. Březina and A. Belyj whose work presents gradual heading for Czech and Russian modern art. The interest was fixed on metamorphoses of modern art, from decadent-symbolist one to evolutionary and at the same time high phase of symbolism, which can be called theurgic, using the words of the Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovjov. The theurgy was introduced into the world of art – i.e. synergy of aesthetic and religious spheres as conviction that artistic creation can take part in re-forming of the world. Březina and Belyj, reached the conclusions speaking about the metamorphosis of art into an activity understood as creative unveiling and re-shaping of basic life forms, by means of aesthetic forms and deepened aesthetic principals. Thus the idea of spiritual, psychical, physiological and physical re-forming of contemporary human who would become the first step on the way to the “Solovjovian godmanhood” became the aim and essence of theurgy. Then the art could head for correlation of earthly dimensions with the cosmic ones. The poets as the artists of life would reveal the hidden beauty of the world, they were lead by the beauty and imagination that could set free and unite everything around in the deep intuition of spiritual essence.
