here are the sheets:
[link removed by moderator]
anyone got ideas how to pedal this piece?
there are 2 sections. the one with the painfully left hand, and the slow one, beautiful harmonies.
i have no problems pedaling the 2nd one.
but the first, if i pedal too much it sounds so muddly and unclear.
and if i don't use pedal at all it sounds too dry. in which chords to use pedal , in which not
any ideas?

Okay
Pedal does not only have 2 states - on and off.
There are many points in between, where some notes (especially bass notes) keep "alive" while others are swept away. So it's a very sensible task, and with Scriabin, it's as sensible as it could be. I would think, that the lower bass notes should always be caught with the pedal, so the piece has a stable bass fundament. The chords of the right hand should sound relatively clear, from time to time, they may be blurred a bit for an impressionistic effect, but very cautious. Most of the time, a very clean pedalling should be used.

If it doesn't work - try something different!
