ok, so I was the watering hole, when I ended up talking to this lovely lady , we get into the whole Social make up conversation and what not, and she drops a name "Nichi", so to make a long story short I never herd of the guy, now I might be butchering the name cause 100 proof shots tend to mess with you ... any one know who she might have been talking about,

Yea Neitzsche is a German philosopher. Existentialism.
"Thus Spoke Zarathustra" & "Beyond Good and Evil" are very interesting reads. That might be a understatement

There are no Russian philosophers. The reason is because Russia remained very attached to Christianity in the 1800s and 1900s compared with the West which had outgrown Christianity by that time, and their philosophy developed in a different direction -- through literature. Traditionally this function was carried by Russian writers. Nietzsche's ubermensch theory as we know is pulled out from "Crime and Punishment"

Let's not forget the fact that there were Christian existensialists, Søren Kierkegaard for example.
Oh, and yes, of course there were also russian philosophers.
