Summary/Abstract: The paper shows Nikola Milošević to be the pioneer of researching Lev Shestov’s thought in the Serbian-speaking world, as well as the initiator of systematic translation of his books into Serbian. It is pointed out that both thinkers share certain similarities in their psychological approach to interpreting the works of great philosophers, which indicates the possibility of Shestov’s actual influence on Milošević. Inthe conclusion, the paper reflects upon the question of God’s omnipotence, which was something that the Russian thinker was dealing with in particular, and which was also of central importance for Milošević, in the context of his interest in God understood as immanent transcendence.
