I think Nietzsche and the Bolsheviks (some of them anyway) do share a common belief in the immanent of the old world order and a Promethean idea of building a sort of New Man that will challenge and subjugate the world.
They share this characteristic with futurism, surrealism (sort of), and fascism BTW. It was kind of in the air at the time. Though N. got to it a couple of decades earlier.
