These marks are in both of the Bulgarian texts I have, as well as the Russian one.
They're extremely useful, esp. for Russian (the harder of the two in my op.).

Totaly agree with you. I'm a native russian speaker and I saw some books
in russian wich use accents to overcome ambiguity and this usage seems
elegant. But I need to say that accented texts seems very unusual at first.

Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes without saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of crisis and a final decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is nothing final about it. Thus God
is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something -- and here we recognize the traditional
forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
which would debase the entire value of being born."
