Who and what should a Russian patriot?

240
Let's really try to figure it out, because indeed many of us have at least rejection, and even hatred of the United States and the West. Where does this come from?

There was a country called the USSR. And she was a superpower. At a time when the whole world was the scene of the confrontation between the two systems, when NATO and the ATS looked at each other through the crosshairs of the sights of the USSR led the socialist bloc and was the most powerful socialist state. All over the world, only the USA could resist the USSR, and if in Europe their opposition came down to the Cold War, then Asia was seething with constant conflicts in which weapon and tactics for deploying troops for future global wars.

But the USSR fell. And along with the collapse of the superpower, the whole of Soviet ideology collapsed. And what came in her place?

First of all, the native intelligentsia raised its ugly stigma. Alas, but still under the USSR (and its roots are completely lost in Tsarist Russia), this specific layer of the population was formed - these are people who:
a) They didn’t like and didn’t know how to work, but they had extraordinary self-conceit, and, as a result, they got an inferiority complex: “If I’m so smart, why not rich?”
b) Compensated for this of his complex as follows: "I was born in the wrong country." But if an intellectual would live under capitalism in the United States or somewhere else, then he would, of course, become at least Abraham Lincoln, yeah :)
c) Accordingly, such a person is in every way "zapad" on everything Western, while Haya is all domestic.

Here, however, you need to hold a "thin red line", separating the lambs from the goats. There are people who are really sure that the social, economic and other principles of the West are truly the best of everything that exists today. And they, these people (let's call them Americanists), call for learning from the West and adopting the best of what the West has.

There is a huge difference between an intellectual and an Americanist. The trend of the Americanist is positive - he seems to be telling us: "Yes, here in this and here in this, the West is ahead of us, so let's do it the same way as they do, so that we have as good as there!" An Americanist first of all strives to make his country BETTER than it is now.

Unlike an Americanist, an intellectual DOES NOT STRESS to make his country better than it is. He does not need better. He needs to justify his own failure, and the more Russia will lag behind the West, the worse the Russian will be, the better the intellectual will be, because he lives according to the principle "joy is not when your cow calved, but when your neighbor died."

It is time.

When the USSR collapsed, and the market came to us, those who could “rise” in this very market formed a new, non-existent capitalist layer. And she, of course, needed some ideology of her own. But what could she be?

Socialist ideas are completely inappropriate. And no other - no, in fact people were thrown into the wild market and survive as you know. Die you today, and I tomorrow. Those who were able to survive and succeed in this competitive struggle, where their own life was often a bet, began to look down upon those who lost or those who had not even entered into such a struggle. In 90, the device of the former USSR turned out to be closest to feudalism — those who had money and power could afford almost everything, and those who did not have it could not oppose anything to them. The regions had their own, specific princes and barons, with their retinues, and it was not worth the ordinary person to get on their roads ... As Lord Acton said, "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely" Of course, these people looked down upon others - " scoops "that you take from them ...

This two.

And so, surprisingly, the impoverished and incapable intelligentsia and the quite active "elite" had an amazing similarity at one single point - both of them despised the "scoop" and those and others bowed down to the experience of the West, only the intelligentsia for the sake of compensating for their complexes, but the “elite” because it was the market economy that gave them something they could not have gained earlier, in the USSR.

The result is well-known: from the pages of newspapers, from the screens of televisions, a shaft of pseudo-western turbidity fell upon us. The intelligentsia, with the connivance of the “elite” that has power, has completely displaced its complexes on us. We have diligently argued that the Russians are cattle, people of the second grade, that everything made in the USSR is not worth a penny, that our whole story - it's a shame without a single bright light, that we are drunk and ragged through life, that we are just fierce animals, that we have committed a lot of crimes before the civilized world and that we need to repent, repent, crawl on our knees, grovel, pray to the West, listen to the IMF , do as Soros orders, and then we will be happy ...

Interestingly, here the voice of the intelligentsia, the "elite" and the Americanists practically merged into a single whole. Despite the fact that, unlike the intelligentsia, Americanists did not at all call to fall on their knees and break their forehead, attaining their own sins, but, alas, most of them were not free from the contempt for the “scoop”. Therefore, with all the difference in outlook, their voices turned out to be mostly indistinguishable in the choir of the intelligentsia.
And this powerful chorus of voices, demanding admiration for all Westerners, gained the power of official propaganda ...

These are three.

But interestingly, a huge number of those very ordinary "scoops" turned out to be passionate about the ideas of a market economy and a new order. It seemed that we had to be patient, a little more, a little more, and a wise owner would come, and there would be salaries, almost like in the USA, and a cottage and a house in the village and all the children had a car .... Just before they were rebuilt we must tighten our belts a little, and then, of course, everything will be much better than it was!

These are four.

5 years have passed ... 10 years ... 15 .... but that's the point - economic well-being, comparable to the United States as it was not and netuti.

And then these very "scoops" began to raise questions

1) There was a total disappointment in the “invisible hand of the market” as in a management tool. The “effective owners” in the perception of the majority turned out to be somewhere between the Serpent Gorynych and Barmaglot, a fabulous creature that does not exist, but even if it were, it would still be no good to expect anything good from it.

2) No less disappointing caused the decline of Russia's prestige on the world stage compared to the USSR - a simple question - if we do everything better than in the USSR, then why do we listen less to us? If we are on the right path - then why are we becoming weaker, not stronger?

3) And finally - selfish question - why many, working on 10-12, live much worse hours than in the West?

And what answers did people get to these questions?

Because you - cattle. Because you are worthless and will never be fit. Because you did not repent of 100500 for millions of German women who were raped in World War II, did not pay 100500 billions to unfortunate Latvians, etc. etc ... Because the West is a paradise, but for our own, for normal and adequate ones, and you freaks never get into it. Because you are superfluous at this celebration of life ...

Everything is very simple. Our valiant intelligentsia, which gained access to microphones and cameras, diligently introduced a new picture of the world to people, where at one extreme is a prosperous United States, and at the other - drunken and worthless Russia. Our Rush, if you will. And what happens when a certain person is constantly demonstrated to an ordinary person (not a secret, for example, that the life of Americans shown in cinema is approximately four times as high as the average standard of living of an average American family) that this simple person cannot achieve and at the same time speaks taldych " You will never reach it, because you - freak !?

That's right, he will begin to hate this ideal.

And to whom should we say thank you for this ?!

But there are more reasonable people who are accustomed to thinking with their heads and who are not amenable to cheap intellectual screams. What do they think and feel?

First of all, we understand that the value system that our intelligentsia is trying to instill in us DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING WITH THE WESTERN! True, there is a little reservations - from the Western sample of about 80-ies of the last century.

Firstly, that Western civilization will not infringe upon its national self-esteem. Errors? Well, fool with them. Look, fencing in England ... how many people even know about him? The revolution in France led to the dictatorship of Napoleon, who threw Europe with hecatombs of corpses ... What, France repents for the "fierce Buonaparte"? yeah, schazzz ... Napoleon, in fact - a national hero and brand of France ... and that a lot of corpses ... so this time it just was. Heroic.

But what is interesting is that when the West begins to repent of its mistakes, it turns out that ... we don’t need this! Yes, the same United States fully realized the injustice of slavery. Poor blacks African Americans! Now, apparently, America decided to return the paid, giving its white population into slavery to the black brothers. And we ask ourselves the question, do we, the Russians, need such repentance?

Western civilization, surprisingly, is built largely on respect for work. Of course, there is a certain estate everywhere, only it is not customary in the United States to express its contempt, say, to an officer of the US Navy for not earning a million. And who was, until recently, a Russian officer, the last Afghan and Chechnya? And no one - "boot" - a loser and generally a sucker in life - loot can not earn. Even crazy - about some kind of "principles" and "ideals" babbling, bu-ha-ha !!!

Well, our story, of course. When you begin to carefully study where the Russian land came from, then you understand - everything happened with us, and the Poles near Moscow and the Cossacks in Paris. There were ups - there were downs. There were dark pages - and there were undoubted successes. We, damn it, have something to be proud of!
And here a feeling of patriotism finally began to wake up at last. Who - before, who - later.

We have already got rid of 90's illusions and understand that the United States is for us rivals, not friends, and that the maximum that we can (and should) achieve is a peaceful solution to the issues and finding consensus. And that for this you need to become strong again, because, alas, with a kind word and a revolver in modern politics, like in the past, you achieve much more than with a kind word.

We see the practice of double standards, when everything that benefits the golden billion is declared correct and democratic, and everything that is useless or harmful for it (let it be 100500 times fair) is declared unrighteous.

We do not like the categorical way in which the United States crawls into the internal affairs of countries that have not asked for it. We are Russians, we respect the right of the peoples to choose their own ways of life, no matter how different they may seem to us. We regret that we do not have enough strength to effectively prevent such American actions.

And we are told in response:

"If the United States attacked Belarus, then indignation about this would also be understandable - after all, one of the closest nations to us. But Egypt? But Libya? But Syria and Iraq? Is this what side can excite and cause hatred in Russia? "Is your dad something like a Studebaker?"


The clearest, by the way, is an example of double standards. The United States is allowed to bomb Libya, Iraq, extrude Syria. Although ... why? What would the US be worried about because of Libya? What the fuck did the USA forget in Libya? "Daddy is that a Studebaker"?

But for us - the position should be completely different - well, they beat someone there, so what? Do not you beat something, here and sit on the pope exactly ...

What is taught American child? If you see that something is wrong, you see a crime, do not bother yourself, but as soon as an opportunity arises - let the one who can help! Call 911, call the police, do not leave evil unpunished, the law is above all and you need to abide by it!

And what are they calling us to? Do not you ludzuyut - do not tweet.

Oh, these are my double standards ...

But we are Russians. And we will not be good about those who bomb the civilian population of foreign countries "in the name of democracy." Yes, Russian can also say, “My house is on the edge, I don’t know anything,” but at the same time he will KNOW that he is doing wrong.

And yet - we want our country to regain its power and superpower status, but only at the expense of OWN forces. We do not want to select anything. No one.

The feeling of patriotism in the Russian Federation is now slowly recovering. And the first reason is the rejection of the standards imposed on us by our rotten intelligentsia. That's just so historically, that these standards are issued to us for Western ...

Therefore, those who associate our intelligentsia with the West (and this intelligentsia has put a lot of effort into this) hate the West. Well, those who understand that our intelligentsia and the West are two big differences - they hate our intellectuals, liberals (in the bad sense of the word) anti-stalinos (please do not confuse with anti-Stalinists, and these are completely different people) similar figures, diligently grafting the Russian nation their own problems and complexes. And many of them do not even hate them, just treat them as a mixture of moldy worm with a tapeworm ...

We treat the West ... as an opponent who, if something happens, will play with us by no means according to the knightly rules. The attitude towards the USA is nevertheless more negative ... their desire to apply force to the place and out of place, getting into the affairs of other countries, leads to the fact that many of us are slowly beginning to see in the US such a gopnik 90, physically strong and fucked up feelings of impunity. Well, how to deal with such us dashing 90-e taught up to the conditioned reflex ... with the right in the eye and the heel in the scoreboard, so that I learned from my own experience how uncomfortable it is to collect broken teeth with broken fingers :)))

That's all.

      Hey Zevs, if you (you do not deserve respectful respect) really support this vile article, then give it to the eye, knock out your teeth and break your fingers to designer Kalashnikov, academician Zhores Alferov and many of our other famous scientists, inventors, and engineers. Come to your school, where you have not had enough minds and cripple all the teachers there, and then come to the clinic and do the same with the doctors. It is a pity that almost all the factories were closed (again, the intellectuals destroyed the ears) to come there - engineers, accountants, economists right in the eye. Who are you after that?
      In general, moderators should filter out such illegal material.

          1. Regarding correctness, I apologized in the following comment.
          2. I do not classify the intelligentsia I respect in any way, and I can’t rank them among the gopniks.
          3. About psychedelics, again incorrectly on your part.
          4. Ideological diversity does not exclude the prohibition of inciting social discord, which is what is done in the first part of the article.

            1. Thank you for your kind words, but nevertheless neither the author nor the commentator Zeus had in mind the beating of scientists, engineers, teachers. Read carefully.
            2. I apologize for the psychedelics, but you know how it goes around and responds. I could not resist ...
            3. The only drawback of the article is that the author did not take into account one thing - the term "intelligentsia" is interpreted in Russia too broadly. In my opinion, the author does not mean social status by the definition of "intelligentsia"; rather, he puts a moral, ideological and worldview context into this concept. Therefore, there is no question of inciting social hatred in the article, IMHO

              But this article offended and offended me. At the expense of Zeus, he may have gone too far, but you know, I categorically do not accept brutal violence, therefore I also could not restrain myself, although later in the next comment I apologized. And on the author’s account, there is a different opinion, the author consciously accuses the intelligentsia of all mortal sins, hates the intelligentsia (apparently I could not or did not want to go to college, although I know many real intellectuals from the work environment), I know such, for the majority the motive is banal envy. For example, Michael III.

                    Can you give me a definition of the word intellectual, in a society that is not divisible by the class principle ??? P about my understanding, the word came up with a privileged class for itself in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which had all the benefits of that society literally from birth. Not to work, but to write poems, philosophize behind the party in preference, revel and hangover to suddenly understand what a great homespun truth is! Parasites are later, and then the intelligentsia.

                      In the book “The Problem of Authorship and Theory of Styles”, V. V. Vinogradov notes that the word intelligentsia is one of the words used in the language of Masonic literature in the second half of the XNUMXth century;

                      “... the word“ intelligentsia ”is often found in the handwritten heritage of the Freemason Schwartz. It denotes here the highest state of man as an intelligent being, free from any gross, corporeal matter, immortal and imperceptibly able to influence and act on all things. Later this word in a general meaning - rationality, higher consciousness' - was used by A. Galich in his idealistic philosophical concept. The word “intelligentsia” in this sense was used by V. F. Odoevsky.
                      - (Vinogradov. The problem of authorship, p. 299).

                      The Russian intelligentsia, understood as the totality of persons opposed to power of intellectual work, turned out to be a rather isolated social group in pre-revolutionary Russia. Not only the official authorities looked at the intellectuals with suspicion, but also the “common people," who did not distinguish intellectuals from "gentlemen." The contrast between the claim to messianism and isolation from the people led to the cultivation of constant repentance and self-flagellation among Russian intellectuals.
                      The derogatory statement of V. I. Lenin about the intelligentsia helping the bourgeoisie is known:

                      The intellectual forces of the workers and peasants are growing and gaining strength in the struggle for the overthrow of the bourgeoisie and its accomplices, intellectuals, lackeys of capital, who imagine themselves to be the brains of the nation. In fact, this is not the brain, but shit. To “intellectual forces” who want to carry science to the people (rather than serve capital), we pay a salary that is above average. It is a fact. We protect them. It is a fact. Tens of thousands of officers with us serve the Red Army and win despite hundreds of traitors. It is a fact.
                      V. I. Lenin (From a letter to Gorky September 15, 1919) [3]
                      Lenin's words were practically repeated by director S. Govorukhin, calling liberal writers and the intelligentsia "not the brain of the nation, but the shit of the nation."

And whom he called the intelligentsia, I also understand, but what did the intelligentsia itself eat at the time? And do not pretend that you did not understand who the intelligentsia meant by the author, obviously not engineers, doctors and teachers with the military.

                In the Russian pre-revolutionary culture, in the interpretation of the concept of “intelligentsia,” the criterion for engaging in mental labor has faded into the background. The main signs of the Russian intellectual began to appear features of social messianism: concern about the fate of their country (civil liability); the desire for social criticism, to fight against what impedes national development (the role of the bearer of public conscience); the ability to morally empathize with “humiliated and offended” (a sense of moral involvement). Thanks to a group of Russian philosophers of the Silver Age, authors of the acclaimed collection Milestones. A collection of articles on the Russian intelligentsia ”(1909), the intelligentsia began to be determined primarily through the opposition of official state power. Moreover, the concepts of "educated class" and "intelligentsia" were partially divorced - not every educated person could be attributed to the intelligentsia, but only one who criticized the "backward" government. The critical attitude towards the tsarist government predetermined the sympathies of the Russian intelligentsia for liberal and socialist ideas.

                The Russian intelligentsia, understood as the totality of persons opposed to power of intellectual work, turned out to be a rather isolated social group in pre-revolutionary Russia. Not only the official authorities looked at the intellectuals with suspicion, but also the “common people," who did not distinguish intellectuals from "gentlemen." The contrast between the claim to messianism and isolation from the people led to the cultivation of constant repentance and self-flagellation among Russian intellectuals.

            An interesting fact related to the topic is that people often confuse intellectuals and intellectuals without making clear distinctions between them. For the people, everything is simple: it is not engaged in physical labor - it means an intellectual. The word "intellectual" is often not even called an intellectual in the literal sense of the word, but "the proletariat of mental labor." Meanwhile, the difference is very important. If an intellectual is one who appreciates and develops his intellect, considering it the defining parameter of a rational being, then the overwhelming majority of intellectuals are pathetic and naive idealists, rushing about in a world that they invented for themselves, and whose existence is not conceivable outside this world. They persistently promote this world to others, often displaying remarkable demagogic talent. An unconscious idyll reigns in their heads, and already pretty bored and not causing any holy awe, abracadabra, consisting of ideas and principles such as “all people are equal”, “all are equal before the law”, “man is the highest value of the state”, “for our and your freedom ”- and so on, in the same style. It is characteristic that these slogans as such are not fundamentally interested in intellectuals, and the intellectual in a certain situation is ready to easily give them up and exchange them with others that are equally loud and meaningless. Comparing the intellectual moaning with that menu of nonsense that those in power offer daily to taste to the unconscious masses, one can easily notice that intellectuals simply strengthen them and still redirect them to the heads of the same masses.

            Thus, the intelligentsia represents exactly the same unconscious mass that, left unattended, produces disruption and which Professor Preobrazhensky so deservedly did not like, but with some glimpses of intelligence, which, however, are aimed at supporting not intellectual ideas. The creativity of such representatives of the human race is also extremely small, and is more often expressed in decadent art forms, verses "about love" and other infantilism. An excellent portrait of an intellectual is described in the image of Vasisual Lokhankin by Ilf and Petrov. Please note that intellectuals are much more likely to relate to humanitarian areas than to natural sciences, since portraying pseudo-intellectual activity in the first case is much simpler. Of course, Vasisualiy was only posing as an intellectual, but, nevertheless, if an unintelligent intellectual can be rude, but at the same time be an excellent specialist, etc. (“Korneev is rude”), then a non-intellectual intellectual is simply a miserable parody of a person (they once wrote to me that an intellectual does not have to be an intellectual, which is typical). At the same time, the features of an intellectual can interfere with an intellectual quite significantly: continuing examples from literature, let us recall Professor Preobrazhensky, who is both an intellectual and an intellectual. If it were not for the assistance of his younger colleague, not so intelligent, then the story with Sharikov could have ended in a completely different way.

        Dear Pavel, I’m not plus or minus you. I perfectly understand what you wanted to say. You just had to put the emphasis correctly. There is an intelligentsia which is aimed at creation, solar, we can say so, but there is a rotten intelligentsia, all of whose activities are aimed at destruction. The author of the article has precisely this in mind. This rot always fights against the society in which it lives. The author of the article correctly gave her an assessment - the inferiority complex. I would add here a complex of power. So you called two respected people. Alferov and Kalashnikov. I do not want to offend anyone, but! Kalashnikov is a pronounced solar intellectual (maybe because he is Russian? He comes from peasants?) Alferov is rotten in my opinion, otherwise how can he explain his protest against teaching in schools, the basics of Orthodox culture? (maybe because a Jew? And Jews are the first opponents of Orthodoxy).
        The rotten intelligentsia first fought against the Soviet regime, now against the one that exists without adopting the post-Soviet political regime - Adel Naydenovich, Alexander Tarasov, or even again subjected to repression for their opposition activities - Sergey Grigoryants, Vladimir Osipov, Andrey Derevyankin.
        They suffer another complex. Self-destruction complex.

          This category of people is also called revolutionaries. Destructive elements of society. Their energy is directed towards destruction and only destruction. When their activities fell into the stream, they were heroized, deified. When not - mercilessly spread rot. The pre-war repressions were originally organized to eliminate such a social category, not without reason that almost all the old Bolsheviks were destroyed. Vadim Kozhinov has a good book on this topic - "The Truth of Stalinist Repressions". I highly recommend everyone to read it. The presentation of the idea has no political engagement, it is based on real facts and documents.

            Well, if we conditionally divide the intelligentsia into several layers, it will turn out that the so-called "higher intelligentsia - people of creative professions - science, culture. In the bulk, it is here that the majority of the" rotten intelligentsia prevails. the stratum of which the country gives everything. Creates conditions, benefits, etc. But, as it were, everything is not enough. This is all because of their complexes. This is what comes out of them most of all negative. Here we also add the sons and daughters of the mighty of this world, money bags, in short "majors". Also, after all, "the color of the nation."
            The second layer is doctors, teachers, engineers, journalists, designers, technologists, agronomists, military and other specialists. Many representatives work in social sectors (health care, education), slightly less (up to 40%) in industry, and the rest in agriculture or trade. There are much more bright people here. Because most of them come from the common people and have achieved a position in society only thanks to themselves. They work precisely for creation.

              Here, according to the old soviet conviction, some military officers do not belong to the intelligentsia. I have a different opinion and know a lot of intelligence officers who honestly serve.

                  Wiki says

                  The Russian intelligentsia was a transplant: Western intellectuals transplanted onto Russian barracks. The specifics of the Russian intelligentsia gave rise to the specifics of Russian state power. In backward Russia, power was not divided and amorphous; it did not require intellectual specialists, but universalists: under Peter, people like Tatishchev or Nartov, under the Bolsheviks, such commissars who were easily transferred from the Cheka to the NKPS, and in the intervals, between Nikolaev and Alexander the generals who were appointed to command finance, and no one was surprised. The mirror of such Russian power was the Russian opposition of all trades, the role of which the intelligentsia had to take on. “The story of one prosperous village” by B. Vakhtin begins approximately like this (I quote from memory): “When Empress Elizaveta Petrovna abolished the death penalty in Russia and thereby laid the foundation for the Russian intelligentsia ...” That is, when the opposition to the government ceased to be physically destroyed and became worse whether it’s good to accumulate and look for a pool in a society more convenient for such a cluster. That pool turned out to be that enlightened and semi-enlightened layer of society, from which the intelligentsia later formed as a specifically Russian phenomenon. It might not have become so specific if Russian social reclamation had a reliable drainage system that protected the basin from overflow, and its surroundings from a revolutionary flood. But neither Elizabeth Petrovna nor her successors took care of this for various reasons ...

                  And Lenin, like the author of the article, says

                  The derogatory statement of V. I. Lenin about the intelligentsia helping the bourgeoisie is known:

                  The intellectual forces of the workers and peasants are growing and gaining strength in the struggle for the overthrow of the bourgeoisie and its accomplices, intellectuals, lackeys of capital, who imagine themselves to be the brains of the nation. In fact, this is not the brain, but shit. To “intellectual forces” who want to carry science to the people (rather than serve capital), we pay a salary that is above average. It is a fact. We protect them. It is a fact. Tens of thousands of officers with us serve the Red Army and win despite hundreds of traitors. It is a fact.

        Intelligentsia are people who bring benefit of their country with intellectual labor, and not those who learned to write without mistakes and even received a university diploma. The second (pseudo-intelligentsia) should not be confused with the first (genuine). This is a really big problem in the post-Soviet space - there is a class of educated people who believe that they are already entitled to because they are educated.

        But really nasty little article. And why did you get so many minuses? Yes, simply because there is a lot of verbiage addressed to the intelligentsia. Here they are enemies, intellectuals, but not all, Americanists are good intellectuals, the rest are bad.
        There are people who are really sure that the social, economic and other principles of the West are really the best of all that exists today. And they, these people (let's call them Americanists), urge to study with the West and take into service the best of what the West has.

        And the essence of the article is precisely this. This is propaganda of the West. And many who set you minuses, Pavel, bought this propaganda.
        And what is the best adopted by these so-called. "Americanists" in the West? The world economy in the form of a pyramid, empty debt obligations, derevatives, less valuable securities, empty money, where their value is not backed by anything?
        By and large, to me our current government, headed by a lousy lawyer and a completely mediocre economist, is the personification of these "Americanists". During the year of the existence of this government, the country is rolling (economically) down. According to the government, inflation has increased, the gross domestic product has decreased and the only way out of this (see, it's a lifesaver) is only further privatization (and in fact theft) of the remaining state property.
        To be honest, I have no doubt that the government is simply sabotaging the country's economic development.

I was pleasantly surprised by the number of pluses, I just wanted those who put pluses to also speak out and not be afraid, and let the stars get minus, it's not a pity.

        No need to distort Ilyich - that’s where the quote comes from:
        It is wrong to confuse the "intellectual forces" of the people with the "forces" of the bourgeois intellectuals. I will take Korolenko as a model: I recently read his, written in August 1917, brochure "War, Fatherland and Humanity". Korolenko is, after all, the best of the "near-Kadets", almost a Menshevik. And what a vile, vile, vile defense of the imperialist war, covered with corny phrases! A pitiful philistine, captivated by bourgeois prejudices! For such gentlemen, 10 killed in the imperialist war is a cause worthy of support (with deeds, with sugary phrases "against" the war), and the death of hundreds of thousands in a just civil war against landowners and capitalists causes ah, ooh, sighs, hysteria. The intellectual forces of the workers and peasants are growing and gaining strength in the struggle to overthrow the bourgeoisie and its accomplices, intellectuals, lackeys of capital, who imagine themselves to be the brain of the nation. It's not really a brain, but shit. "

        (V.I. Lenin, From a letter to A.M. Gorky from September 15 of 1919 of the year, Complete Works, fifth edition of the Political Literature Publishing House, 1978, vol. 51, p. 48-49)

        In this letter, Lenin exposed those who justify the world war as lackeys of capital (from the text).

          if you (you don’t deserve respectful) really support this nasty little article, then give it to the eye, knock out your teeth and break your fingers to designer Kalashnikov,

          Actually, the author of the article did not mean the scientific intelligentsia, but the really disgusting people who have recently arrogated this name to themselves.
          You constantly hear their speeches in the media, the author described the nature of these speeches in detail. Those people whom you have listed (Kalashnikov, Zhores Alferov and many other heroes of social labor) would never have thought of throwing mud at their homeland as the self-proclaimed "intellectuals" mentioned in the article do. But nevertheless, these people in all seriousness consider themselves intelligentsia only on the grounds that they do not accept, hate, treat with disgust for "this country."
          How should we treat them with understanding, respect and love?
          With understanding - yes, the fact that their sincere hatred of our beloved Motherland is paid for by our enemies.
          So them better to leave "this country" and choke on your dirty tongue.

                How commentary is humorous can be judged by other comments. Every joke has a fraction of a joke. To joke on the verge of rudeness and the rule of law is a thankless task. And the intelligentsia in the sense of that part of society in its influence on it was present, I believe, always (not in the sense of Lenin's definition).

                If you are offended by the definition of "young man", then I apologize.

                That's right, I talked about this above. I know a lot of workers, whom, with good reason, can be called intellectuals. You can argue about education too. I know many anti-alligents (like the Nick metaphor) who have a good upbringing and excellent manners, but are not intellectuals.

    The intelligentsia - (from the Latin intelligens - understanding - thinking, reasonable), a social stratum of people professionally engaged in mental, mainly complex, creative work, the development and dissemination of culture. "And that rabble that in a drunken stupor of 1991 climbed the barricades and threw bottles with a Molotov cocktail in the armored personnel carriers, in which, perhaps, their own sons were sitting, they are painfully different from the thinking and reasonable. And the modern elite also does not belong to the intelligentsia, if only because of elementary education and the ability to independently (not for money) And those designers, technologists, scientists, on whom the huge country was supported, are the real intelligentsia, those accusations which the author puts forward cannot be attributed to them.

        I shook my head. Once in my youth I really saw a red dragon, but I already forgot how it looked - I remembered only my own fear. Pavel Ivanovich hardly meant this case.
        - It is clear that these one hundred thousand hated the dragon and dreamed that they were ruled by a green toad that fought with the dragon. In general, they agreed with the toad, poisoned the dragon with lipstick obtained from the CIA and began to live in a new way.
        - And what does the intel ...
        “Wait,” he raised his hand. - At first they thought that with the toad they would do exactly the same thing, only they would receive ten times more money. But it turned out that instead of a hundred thousand kissers, now three professionals are needed, who, working eight hours a day, will make the toad a continuous deep blowjob. And who exactly out of a hundred thousand will pass into these three will be revealed on the basis of an open competition, where it will be necessary to show not only high professional qualities, but also the ability to smile optimistically with the edges of the mouth during work ...

      The author needs to clarify who he calls the intelligentsia "Intellectuals in the Encyclopedic Dictionary:
      The intelligentsia - (from the Latin intelligens - understanding - thinking, reasonable), a social stratum of people professionally engaged in mental, mainly complex, creative work, the development and dissemination of culture. "

      Yes, the author mixed up the terms a little. Those whom he bewitched in the article are not the intelligentsia. I would call them lumpen-intelligentsia or intellectuloids - they cannot physically work, but intellectually, that is, with their heads, they cannot. hence they have a viper, they say, "the state is flawed", not wanting to admit that they themselves are flawed.

      Unfortunately, this definition has nothing to do with reality. Looks formulated ... intellectual. Doctors, engineers, scientists, technicians, writers and poets have their names. These proud names are doctors, engineers ... smile
      An intellectual is not a profession or skill, but their absence. A person does not have the ability, knowledge of skills ... and he, by the way, graduated from the institute! For troikas, of course, with patronage ... he can't work now ?! So he calls himself an intellectual. After all, he is not a doctor, not a scientist, not an engineer ... He often calls himself a writer. Or an artist there. Look, a certain Shishkin lives in Switzerland, it turns out! Or we have all sorts of Helmans fatten, smear shit on the wall and then sell "art".

    INTELLIGENTSIA.
    Great thinkers and writers noted in her one remarkable feature, hereditary and acquired, - her servility to the authorities

    The Russian intelligentsia, unfortunately, could not win the worldview war, and in some ways it itself became a destroyer of Russian identity, often unbridled and blindly praising the Western way of life. She forgot that Russia is a special civilization on earth, and it must be treated not only with pride and great respect, but also with great frugality. Feature and originality have always annoyed the enemies of Russia, who sought to destroy it, to remake it in its own image and likeness. It did not work out in open clashes - they went to deception, to the decomposition of civilization from the inside.
    And here it is appropriate to recall some moments from history, from how our enemies planned to destroy the USSR during the years of the Cold War. First, wreak havoc, discreetly replace our values ​​and make us believe in falsity, then - achieve a final, irreversible fading of the self-awareness of the Russian people. Etch their social essence from literature and art, wean artists to capture the processes that occur in the midst of folk life. To force literature, theaters, and cinema to depict and glorify the most base human feelings: licentiousness, violence, sadism, betrayal, immorality. Honesty and decency discarded as unnecessary. Preach rudeness and arrogance, lies and deceit, spread drunkenness and drug addiction, animal fear of each other, nationalism, hatred between nations, and especially in relation to the Russian people. This was said and written in the late forties, early fifties.

    Now, unfortunately, I have to admit that much of what was planned turned out to be a fait accompli.
    The Soviet Union could not be destroyed by war, direct armed aggression. Destroyed from the inside. There were people, their own “fifth column” of internal destroyers. Who are they? There is no doubt, these are those who then became frequent in the American, German, English missions in Moscow, the so-called democratic elite. They are now in power or in power itself.

    But what about the Russian intelligentsia? She is different.
    On one side on the front line, but, unfortunately, so far in the minority, were the true patriots of the Fatherland - Nikolai Gubenko, Valentin Rasputin, Valery Ganichev, Eduard Volodin, Vasily Belov, Tatyana Doronina, Vasily Lanovoi, Mikhail Nozhkin and others, around which our united national spiritual resistance, which did not allow to completely trample the originality of Russia into the mud.
    On the other side there gathered a raging beau monde from those who succumbed to the temptation of an easy life, to the ornate speeches of young reformers, vain chimes and supposedly overlooking from party deceit, great-age shifters and opportunists from members of the Politburo, Obkomov and Tsekov secretaries, as well as chief editors and writers, previously admirers Soviet power, and now its abusive. Beaumond, who was flashed to showcase Western society, but was not shown the dirty quarters of the homeless and the poor. And all this huge creative crowd suddenly decided for itself that, let it just ruin the Union, everything will be in the window, and not in the outskirts of society. And she decided to storm, overthrowing and destroying seventy-year foundations, beating her past, mocking her parents, the older generation.
    Here they are - thousands of noisy rallies in Moscow, pickets and processions, here they are - gatherings and congresses, fraternities and kisses with nationalists from the Baltic states, Ukraine and the Caucasus. Here are the presidential elections of the main child molester of Russia - the completely drunken Yeltsin, here is the unprecedented treasury of the country and the sale of the country, the moral corruption of power and the corruption of society.



    But the feast, the democratic coven ended, and many departed from the dope of speeches and promises, woke up and froze in a daze.

        Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov was born in Simbirsk, in the family of public school inspector Ilya Nikolayevich Ulyanov (1831 — 1886), who had a personal (non-hereditary) nobility. The family of the future prominent revolutionary of the twentieth century was heterogeneous in origin, but for the most part consisted of raznochintsy (intelligentsia). In the Lenin family, representatives of several nationalities are distinguished - Russians, Kalmyks, Chuvashs, Jews, Germans and Swedes.

    Continued:
    And where is the great country, and where is the Russian intelligentsia itself? In the backyards, in the garbage pit, and as a beggar woman stands with outstretched hand for a piece of bread. Scientists, technicians, hundreds of thousands left the country or went to a flea market, became trading carriers, doctors freeze up in hospitals, teachers block routes to give them even the humiliating wages that the Yeltsin’s and then Putin’s regimes scoffed at for their support in the election. And now they started complaining - they say, again they deceived, they didn’t want that.
    The Russian intelligentsia, in their historical unconsciousness, having identified the flaws of the past, could not or did not want to defend the just and rational, human basis of socialism, which lifted up from the knees, uprooted from poverty and ignorance the huge strata of the people who are now being pushed into the pit, calling him cattle . But the intelligentsia itself is slowly sliding into the same pit. She forgot that the war of the present with the past always causes the loss of the future.
    The fate of our country in the XNUMXth century turned out to be complicated, and assessments of events cannot be simple, but they must be objective.
    Unfortunately, in reflecting domestic history, the intelligentsia - from the filing of foreign puppeteers and their minions - has slipped into foreign cliches, their worldview, their view of our past. And these cliches are vulgar, distorted, they numb and humiliate us Russians. Having started a dispute with the past, domestic falsifiers provoked a powerful campaign to discredit Russia and beyond.
    Our intellectual, so condemning the Red Terror, does not want to know at all that there was white terror before, as well as the mass hunger of people from the lack of bread, which the opponents of the new system intentionally destroyed or hid.
    Many pay tribute to the great reformer of Russia Peter I, although he also paved the way to Europe with corpses, having built Petersburg on human bones. They admire him, who have gathered a huge empire, and immediately applaud the inept ruler Yeltsin, who squandered drunk and derailed the great Petrine creation, the heritage of the entire Russian people. They put monuments to him. And there is no greater blasphemy as to call the state library of the country by his name. In the name of a man of ignorance, licentious, intellectually wretched and unenlightened.
    And again the Russian intelligentsia is silent, hiding with a small tremor from fear.
    The writer V. Astafyev has already agreed to the point that he declared the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 with fascist Germany a criminal war for us.
    A conscientious and even a little knowledgeable intellectual would not repeat the blatant nonsense thrown to us by foreign provocateurs about the destruction of 100 million human lives in the Soviet period.
    And again we see the strings of “popular” and “honored” laureates and applicants praising and flatteringly looking at the destroyers of the Fatherland - Gorbachev and Yeltsin, and then with the same servility who blindly glorified Putin’s populist-hypocritical rule and received government awards in response.
    IN THAT WE HAVE REACHED TO BE GUILT FIRST ....

    Some of our classics, unfortunately I can't remember who exactly, was very offended when he was ranked among the intelligentsia. This is precisely the stratum, and not the basis of cultural and social life. Regarding the fact that this stratum is engaged in complex intellectual creative work, the dissemination and development of culture, tell me offhand which of the current intellectuals moved our culture and where? Among the people, the word "intellectual" was considered, and even now it is considered offensive, almost abusive. Why? Yes, because the opinion about the intelligentsia as about idlers has taken root (not all of them, of course, but the bulk does not produce anything material, but only teaches others how to live). An intellectual is not interested in working; this process, one might say, is antagonistic to the very status of an intellectual. Lenin's derogatory statement about the intelligentsia helping the bourgeoisie is known:
    “The intellectual forces of the workers and peasants are growing and gaining strength in the struggle for the overthrow of the bourgeoisie and its accomplices, intellectuals, lackeys of capital, imagining themselves to be the brains of the nation. In fact, this is not the brain, but shit. To “intellectual forces” who want to carry science to the people (rather than serve capital), we pay a salary that is above average. It is a fact. We protect them. It is a fact. Tens of thousands of officers with us serve the Red Army and win despite hundreds of traitors. It is a fact.

      You are not quite right. Many concepts have gone, many have changed, but the Russian intellectual ... I do not consider them Russian, the intellectual, like a thief, has no nationality. So, as they were traitors, they remained. And then they betrayed Russia just as joyfully and selflessly.
      The reason for their very existence, the reason for the blessed preservation in this filthy form is the total denseness of the rulers. Top leaders in our bitter state, as a rule, do not screw almost anything! And listening to the smooth, mesmerizing by the abundance of terms periods, without hesitation set forth by the next scum, they, our bosses, are afraid of only one to death. Reveal your stupid ignorance to the world! But the intellectuals understand this fear, so understandable to them because of their own ignorance, which, unlike our bosses' condo, cleverly learned to hide garbage words behind the mountains, they feel unmistakably.
      And here lies the fundamental difference between this muck from scientists, engineers and writers. What is the scientist’s reaction to ignorance? He seeks to destroy him, being a natural enemy of ignorance and putting the whole world as his ally. Naive burdock! His attempts are doomed, you cannot break through our high leader with some kind of enlightenment. If he could - he would have learned something a long time ago. But he would never become the head of such a level - the other bosses would gobble up. So the attempts to EXPLAIN cause the bosses to fear and fierce anger. They tolerate scientists, engineers, and creators in general, since it is impossible without them. But they fiercely hate and use any pretext for annihilation, it only seems to them that it is already possible to do without this hated clever man.
      The intellectual is not like that! Oh, how he understands the boss! And, having previously frightened with the "mind", Intel gently offers the boss ... help in hiding the mental deficiency. Buy a "painting". Allocate money to "study history". Give money for "art" ... give, give, give! Why huddle, the money is not an official but Russia, you can safely drain it into the trash. And in return you will be known as an expert, Intel will be taken care of. By the way, what if we announce you, our boss, dear, a professor ?! Who, then, will guess that you are a thief, a stupid bumpkin and a bandit ?! Have you read here recently? So, as long as the system of selection of the top leadership in Russia carefully brings such our beloved bosses to the top echelons, the intelligentsia will always be at the bottom.

    The man graduated from the institute, entered graduate school, suffered there and "gave birth" to a dissertation, which will be politely patted, printed a certain number of copies and ... put on the shelf. because nobody needs his ideas and in practice gives 0,0. Here is a pseudo-intellectual for you - he looks down on others, because "he is a candidate," and therefore has the right to teach others, but at the same time, deep down, he understands that his dissertation is far from a "masterpiece" and resentment arises - " how was he so smart not appreciated "And who is to blame? And where will it be appreciated? So there is dissatisfaction with the system, the people and the search for salvation in the west. Such a person imagines himself to be an intellectual, but he is not, because he is not a creator!
    A real intellectual is often dissatisfied with himself, he is always looking for new knowledge, improves what he does, sets incredible, fantastic goals for himself and achieves them, because what he does is needed by everyone! And the teacher, who sits and looks for new material, prepares some kind of visualization until two o'clock in the morning, and can teach a lesson in spite of all the "methods and rules" dictated by pseudo-intellectuals who made their way to warm places in all sorts of ronos, municipalities, ministries, he is not afraid to go to precor, because he knows - "this is how children will remember correctly and for the rest of their lives" He creates! He is happy! And now he is an intellectual, although he does not have a title. And such examples of intellectuals can be found in abundance!

      I put it to you, dear, minus because in a rainbow, the extreme colors of the spectrum are infrared and ultraviolet, and white is a complete collection of rainbow colors and therefore cannot be the extreme in the spectrum. Take a transparent glass prism and pass a white beam through it into the dark room on the wall. The whole spectrum or rainbow will be reflected I am not an intellectual or an optical physicist, I just remember the description of this experience from the school physics course taught in the Soviet school.

    From the point of view of the aspirations of a patriot of his homeland, the article is a plus. Here is just one thing, the article practically combines the concepts, between the intelligentsia - who consider themselves carriers of advanced ideas and morality, to which we, for the most part, refer to the "fifth column" and intellectuals - people of intellectual labor, which is not the same thing! As I understand it, this is exactly what some forum participants wanted to draw attention to, but apparently it is difficult to be heard when everyone shouts - YES, and only a few - IT IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND.

After all, usually we don’t, they ask what this person is suitable for, what he knows how to do, and they ask what educational institutions he graduated from. (Adolf Gitler)

      Not in the article about a completely different "intelligentsia" we are talking, not about really people capable of creating, educated and intelligent people, but about the so-called "creative class" with their purchased diplomas and exorbitant ambitions. Ilf and Petrov, in The Golden Calf, described one such "intellectual":

      Vasisuali himself never served anywhere. The service would prevent him from thinking about the significance of the Russian intelligentsia, to which social stratum he included himself. Thus, the lengthy thoughts of Lokhankin boiled down to a pleasant and close topic: “Vasisualiy Lokhankin and its significance”, “Lokhankin and the tragedy of Russian Liberalism”, “Lokhankin and his role in the Russian revolution”. It was easy and calm to think about all this, walking around the room in felt boots bought for Barbarian money, and glancing at your favorite cupboard, where the roots of the Brockhaus encyclopedic dictionary flickered with church gold. Vasisuali stood for a long time in front of the closet, shifting his gaze from spine to spine. According to the ranking there were marvelous examples of bookbinding art: the Big Medical Encyclopedia, “Animal Life”, the pound volume “Man and Woman”, as well as “Earth and People” by Elise Reclus.
      “Next to this treasury of thought,” Vasisuali thought slowly, “you become cleaner, somehow grow spiritually.”
      Having come to such a conclusion, he sighed joyfully, pulled out the Motherland from under the cabinet in 1899 in a sea-blue cover with foam and spray, examined pictures of the Boer War, an announcement by an unknown lady, entitled: “That's how I increased my six-inch bust, ”and other interesting things.

      And the Strugatsky brothers even wrote a recipe for how to deal with them in the novel "Weighed down by evil or Forty years later."
      Vanya Drozdov refers to our "bad guys" extremely simply. For him, they are divided into two types. The first is lumpen, vagabond, stinking parasites, chlamydomonas, weedy flora, useless. The second - philosophers unwashed, homegrown, fornicators, barreled diogens, clumsy armless, brainless and talentless. One type of the other is worth it, and it would be nice to prod the first out of sight somewhere in the swamps (even if they feed medical leeches there, or something), and to give the second shovels to dig a navigable canal from our Tashlitsa to the Aral Sea.

    Twenty-one people sat in the dock. Including they were: the former chairman of the board of the OGPU, Henry Yagoda and his secretary Pavel Bulanov; right-wing leaders Nikolai Bukharin and Alexei Rykov; Trotskyist leaders and at the same time German agents Nikolai Krestinsky and Arkady Rozengolts; Trotsky-Japanese agent Christian Rakovsky; two other Trotskyist leaders and German agents — Mikhail Chernov and Grigory Grinko; Polish agent Vasily Sharangovich; eleven other conspirators are members of the right-wing Trotskyist bloc, wreckers, terrorists and foreign agents.
    The process of the right-Trotskyist bloc for the first time revealed and exposed to the whole world the methods of the "fifth column" of the "axis" countries. The entire technique of covert war methods - propaganda, terror, treason in leading institutions, the machinations of Quislings, the tactics of a secret army striking from within - in a word, the whole essence of the strategy of the "fifth column" of the Axis powers, with the hands of which the Nazis were already conducting subversive work in Spain , Austria, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Belgium, France and other European countries and America, has been completely exposed.
    - Bukharins and Rykovs, Yagody and Bulanovs, Krestinsky and Rozengoltsy ... - said the Soviet prosecutor Vyshinsky in his speech on March 11, - this is the same "fifth column" ...
    Ambassador Davis, who attended the trial, called it a "horrific" judicial, psychological and political drama. On March 8, he wrote to his daughter: "The trial exposed all the basic vices and weaknesses of human nature - selfish aspirations in their worst form. The contours of a conspiracy that almost led to the overthrow of the government are looming."
    Some of the accused, trying to escape retribution, tried to evade full responsibility for their crimes, to blame others, to portray themselves as honest but misled politicians. Others, without apparent fear for their fate, and not counting, it seemed, on the mitigation of the death sentence, cited terrible details of their "political" murders, as well as espionage and sabotage activities carried out by them under the leadership of German and Japanese military intelligence.
    The verdict was announced on March 13, 1938. All the defendants were found guilty. Three of them - Pletnev, Bessonov and Rakovsky - the court sentenced to imprisonment. The rest were sentenced to death.

    In the summer of 1941, when the Nazis attacked the Soviet Union, Joseph E. Davis, a former US ambassador to the USSR, wrote:
    “There was no so-called 'internal aggression' in Russia, acting in concert with the German high command. In 1939 Hitler's campaign against Prague was accompanied by active military support from Henlein's organizations. The same can be said about the Nazi invasion of Norway. But in Russia there were no Sudeten Henleins, Slovak yews, Belgian degrels or Norwegian Quislings ...

They have not gone anywhere. now they are free people. that is, free from moral obligations from the country and people. What can be said in this case, the connection of generations and ideas is no more. Moreover, the number of descendants of the repressed by distance from Moscow, the closer - the more of them. And in Moscow itself - the closer to the Kremlin - the more there are. Here is a paradox that you need to know and see, and not argue about the contribution of movers and scientists to the current state of the country.

    The author of the article is definitely a plus, but I would like, as they say, to dot the i's.
    The word intelligentsia (Latin intelligentia, intellegentia - understanding, cognitive power, from intelligens, intellegens - intelligent, understanding, knowing, thinking) is a social group of people professionally engaged in mental - mainly complex and creative - work. Everything seems to be clear here, but the fact of the matter is that a large number of people engaged in mental work in our country rather falls under the category of "education". According to the modern explanatory dictionary of modern Russian language Efremova "education" is:
    1.
    Representatives of the modern Russian intelligentsia, flaunting their education, which boils down to obtaining a university diploma or academic degree in the absence of deep knowledge and wide erudition.
    2.
    It is used as a negative assessment of a significant part of the modern Russian intelligentsia and the new education system.
    It was these "educated people" who hatched from the once laid eggs by the intelligentsia of the late XNUMXth and early XNUMXth centuries. True, these eggs from long lying have deteriorated considerably since the time of their laying. Now we have to deal with these bastards.

    Maybe it would be more appropriate to replace the intellectual with a liberal? A liberal to replace ...

    The word liberalism in our negative sense is incomprehensible to Western people. For them, liberal is an absolutely normal word - a person striving for freedom. I explained the meaning of our use of words and asked: "What is the English word for a person who, under the guise of freedom, directs everything around to destruction?"

    "... First of all, we will have immigrants from China. And this is great luck.
    It’s necessary to prepare the population for a tolerant attitude towards emigrants,
    tell more about the culture and life of the Chinese ... "

    Zhanna Zayonchkovskaya / a Jew who "plans" to destroy the Orthodoxy she hates /
    Head of the Institute Migration Laboratory
    Economic Forecasting RAS

    What will be discussed in this article is true, as though some readers would not refuse to believe it. And those who wish it can verify all the facts stated.

    When the economic growth of communist China has been showing record results for many years in a row, some of our politicians are tempted to urge us to follow the "Chinese path of development." So let's talk about the Chinese. The Chinese are a people with whom we quickly establish close relations, both through trade and through immigration (illegal, overwhelming majority), and who are so successfully mastering our Siberia and the Far East, that experts predict a complete "Sinization" of these territories in 50-100 years and their natural accession to China. And properly-conditioned by official propaganda, lemmings (the layman) will even tell you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The Chinese, after all, are just like us, except that they speak a different language, a little darker, and they have slanting eyes. With their presence in Russia they will enrich our culture and economy.

    But, in fact, they are not quite like us. They have different customs, originating from a different view of the world, a different attitude to life, and this different attitude has been formed over thousands of generations living in conditions that were different from those in which our ancestors lived. For example, the Chinese eat babies and see nothing wrong with that. And what they do with cats and dogs is much worse than just eating them. But more about that below, and now back to the babies. For the modern nuclear superpower, the Chinese have very strange notions of health. These concepts have almost erased a number of species of wild animals from the face of the earth due to the insatiable demand of the Chinese for their organs, who believe that the crushed rhino horn enhances the sexual feeling, and the tiger's genitals increase potency. The rhino horn is so popular among them that it put the rhino on the brink of extinction. The same kind of demand exists for penis of tigers and various parts of bears, which also put the tigers of the Far East on the brink of extinction.

      Human babies are harder to get for food, and I believe that there are laws in China regarding killing babies for this purpose. But there seems to be no law against eating aborted human fetuses and miscarriages. A number of abortion hospitals sell aborted uterine fetuses for food. Small uterine fruits are boiled for soup. Late uterine fruits are eaten like fried milk pigs. It is clear that the Chinese government would have shown some awkwardness if Russian journalists wrote about these kinds of things, or made a film about what the Chinese are doing with cats and dogs. But it is in vain worried: Russian journalists understand that it is impossible to publish such information in any way; this would negatively affect public enthusiasm for a closer rapprochement with the Chinese.

      Despite the efforts of both parties to prevent these specific Chinese customs from becoming known in Russia, information is available for the persistent seeker. Our article shows photos taken in a restaurant in China; these photographs depict a Chinese eating a distinctly visible late human uterine fetus. For me, these photos are shocking and disgusting, and I think that they will also be shocking and disgusting for the average Russian lemmings. Of course, they will not be shocking to the Chinese. Eating uterine fruits for them is no more strange than, say, for a Frenchman eating snails in garlic sauce.

      The significance of this Chinese custom is uterine - even if only wealthy Chinese can afford it so far - is much more than a simple distinction between us and the Chinese in terms of culinary tendencies or in the concept of what is healthy. A society that does not see anything special about eating babies, a race that considers this habit acceptable, is profoundly different from us. These differences lie much deeper than the tongue, skin color, or facial features.

      I do not hate the Chinese because they belong to the yellow race. I do not hate them for being different from us. I don’t even hate them because they don’t see anything special about eating aborted children. This is their business. I do not care what they do with cats and dogs, and if it were in my power, I would depopulate China to put an end to this. But I don’t care if they want to eat Chinese uterine fruits - as long as they do it in China, and not here in Russia. But they will do it here if we allow the criminal frenzy of creeping Chinese immigration, judo-democracy and multiculturalism to continue. If there is a demand, then the Jewish-Chechen organized crime will organize the supply. 4,5 million abortions are performed in Russia annually (in 2000). When, on the one hand, millions of Russian babies are cut out in the womb every year, and on the other hand, there are millions of Chinese "gourmets" who want to consume them, the human market the germs are there. And this will be done not only by the Chinese. Think about how much the traditions and moral principles of Russians have changed under the influence of foreigners.

    After reading the article and the comments to it, I want to ask the following question - is N.S. Mikhalkov an intellectual, and G.K. Kasparov an intellectual? If yes, then the locksmith Uncle Vasya with secondary education who does not pour dirt on his country, does not shouts "screwed-upsepolymers", but modestly, honestly does his job every day and if he drinks his 300 grams on Friday, then this does not make him any worse than Mikhalkov. The article was about a Russian patriot and about patriotism, and if an intellectual and patriot in this case are not synonyms, then the intelligentsia itself is to blame, because for her the words "patriot", "patriotism" have become some kind of bogey. At these words, she begins to come out poisonous saliva and find fault with everything that is possible. So I think not it is worth the intelligentsia to take offense at such an attitude towards it. It's their own fault. Where was the intelligentsia when from the 90s all this dirt poured from the screens and pages of the press to Russia, where they were wise, sophisticated intellectuals and intellectuals when all the dirt and vulgarity crawled in the cinema, whether teraturu.Skulili "there is nothing to eat, how did the sponsors give denyuzhku, who will bite the hand giving, sold for bucks.

    DIVIDING A PEOPLE IS A MISTAKE IN ANY KIND. The consolidation of society is necessary; only an integral society with, let’s say, a critical look at what is happening in the country and in the world can achieve something. The intelligentsia is presented in the article as a collection of critics and loud-mouthed conspirators; we must understand that there are such people always, everywhere and at any time. Just as there are doctors, teachers and others who work for not so big salaries and without any practical help from the state, you should not confuse one and the other

    I admit, I didn’t read this nonsense to the end. Written by a person who is offended, unhealthy, aggressive and dangerous to society. This is the conclusion of a psychiatrist. I would like to briefly dwell on the author’s phobia regarding the intelligentsia, which proves his misunderstanding of the term itself (system theory deals with terms in order to give them unambiguity) intelligentsia. “We don’t love what we can’t understand,” said one intelligent person. A few points about the author’s dislike for the intelligentsia.
    a) “They didn’t like and didn’t know how to work.” And who created the periodic system of elements, who were Lobachevsky, Kolmogorov, who were Pavlov, Bekhterev, sociologist Sorokin, philosopher Berdyaev, thinkers L.N. Gumilev, D.S. Likhachev, finally, Pushkin, Glinka and hundreds, thousands like them? This is the color of our intelligentsia and the color of the nation. The results of their “inability and dislike to work” advanced humanity to a qualitatively new level of development. Perhaps I am immodest, but all my life I have worked with students, graduate students, doctoral students, and several thousand specialists have passed through my soul. I still maintain relationships with some of them, especially those who defended my candidate’s or doctoral thesis. Sorry, but all my life I considered myself an intellectual and took it as a compliment of the highest order if people with whom I had to interact told me about it. As for the opposition “smart - poor,” this is from the repertoire of satirists, but not intellectuals. I knew what I was getting into when I stayed at the university after graduating. I was interested in work, and some kind of material minimum was guaranteed. The intelligentsia does not go for a long ruble. Sometimes, however, it was too short: when leaving work I had to choose between going home by bus or buying bread. It was not possible to combine these two events for some time. It was at this time that people who fell into the intelligentsia by accident went into other areas of activity. The intelligentsia is a self-organizing system capable of self-purification.
    I don't discuss point "b". This is just incompetent nonsense. Let's move on to point "c". “They fall for Western, but don’t like domestic.” It's about people without cultural roots. The intelligentsia is precisely the soil in which these roots develop. But the “jingoism” propagated by the author is alien to the intelligentsia. You may have noticed that the surnames I listed above are the surnames of our compatriots, and not representatives of the West. This does not mean at all that the intellectual will headlong criticize everything Western, extolling what is domestic (an inversion of the author’s premise). There are objective achievements both here and abroad. And to reject any of these achievements on ethnic grounds is stupid. Just remember the ISS and other international programs. Is it worth learning from the West? It is worth learning from everyone who has something to learn from.
    The next “thought” of the author. "An intellectual does not strive to make his country better than it is." And what does it strive for if it is engaged in the preservation, development and transmission of culture (i.e. education), the development of science, practice (I do not write the term “technology” quite consciously).
    And one last thing. The thesis about the “failure of the intelligentsia.” The author does not give specific examples, and therefore it is not difficult to guess what he is writing about himself. I am quite successful in science, in family life, and in friends who are also successful. And since the intelligentsia was taught to live on small financial means (a professor’s salary rarely exceeds 25 thousand), he is also financially successful. Now I’ve been retired for six years, but my home university hasn’t let me go yet. I regard this as another sign of success.
    I strongly recommend that the author consult a psychiatrist.
    I have the honor!

And we have to thank the media for the electorate. The Russian language has a rich vocabulary, but many journalists have already studied abroad, and so they are molding the words instilled in them.

    When we talk about traitors - “intellectuals”, first of all these are HUMANITIES (from the word shit).
    These are people who don’t know how to do anything, don’t understand how the world works, have never engaged in productive work, they only PHILOSOPHY (they like to chat, translated into Russian).
    In his last speech, Academician Zh. Alferov carefully (because he is afraid) said (read from the author): physicists make a discovery, mathematicians describe and calculate it, practitioners make a product, then a PHILOSOPHER comes and begins...
    I remember in a textbook on philosophy (still Marxist-Leninist) it was written that philosophy is the QUEEN of sciences, and all the rest are small. In fact, it's the opposite.
    All the evil and betrayal comes primarily from the govnoritarii, who have always loved to make figs in their pockets, and now these figs have been pulled out of their pockets, they often live on handouts from our enemies from abroad. These are the ones who need to be crushed.

      Mister, you should at least learn your letters, or read some dictionaries, otherwise you’re talking nonsense, I’m ashamed of the entire Internet.
      Humanities majors study human sciences. Medicine, for your information, is half a humanities science, dealing with people, and the other half is natural. Or have you never had to see a doctor? But this is not a sign of health, especially mental health. This is rather a sign that your sensory systems are not working. Take care of yourself, learn your letters!
      Just learn the letters, maybe the concept of “Man” will come to you, which is the basis of the word that you wanted, sorry, to spoil. But there is such a popular wisdom: when you throw dirt at someone else, you may not hit, but your hands are already covered in dirt...
      And philosophy is not only Marxist, Marxist is not philosophy at all, because Marx was an economist, in all of Marxism the main work - Capital - is by no means philosophical. Engels wrote the main “philosophical” works. In quotes - because he is a philosophical amateur, but not a philosopher. If it weren’t for the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and the CPSU, no one would have known them. Philosophy should be studied not from textbooks, but from primary sources. This was not provided for in our university programs. Yes, I had to take notes on something there, but not philosophical, which could have been good for the head, but ideological. Hence your allergy.
      At the same time, it was philosophy that was developing in the world that was not studied in our country.
      By the way, philosophy has never been the queen of sciences (except perhaps in a short course of the party political education system), it was and remains a theoretical doctrine about the ultimate foundations of being and is not itself a science, because, unlike science, where the object and subject of research is clearly defined, in In philosophy, the object and the subject can change places. But, at the same time, it is philosophy that is the methodological basis of all sciences, but not the queen.

        Dear explorer!
        These are very important concepts: Duty and Responsibility. But they are different in content. Debt is imposed by external forces, and responsibility is something that is born in the human soul in response to freedom and choice. Without freedom and choice, there is only debt external to a person.
        Remember the Nuremberg trials. The main argument of war criminals in their self-defense was precisely duty! They justified themselves by saying that they were following orders, i.e. DUTY. Remember the words of Goebbels: “Kill, kill, kill - we will be responsible for everything”! Here we are not talking about responsibility; responsibility, as can be seen from Goebbels’ speech, is divorced from duty. And it cannot be otherwise. Either Freedom-Choice-Responsibility, or Duty, and responsibility separately and in another place. But it doesn’t work out that way, and it didn’t work out in Nuremberg!
        So, in their activities, the intelligentsia relies precisely on freedom-choice-responsibility. Anyone else has nothing to do with the intelligentsia!

    The concept of intelligentsia is not so ancient, having come into use in the second half of the 19th century. Nevertheless, it is customary to include people who lived before its introduction as intellectuals. These are Sumarokov, the father of Russian theater, Tredyakovsky, the first Russian poet, Lomonosov, NovikOv, Radishchev, Chaadaev - Russian educators, the father of field surgery and the head of the Odessa university district Pirogov and many others. Today our society is going through a crisis and it’s unlikely that anyone will undertake this dispute. The very phenomenon of the appearance of the “vile libel” presented above and some of the comments in its support is proof of this. That is why today the role of the intelligentsia is growing so much. I will not define the content of the concept of “intelligentsia” here; that would take up too much space. Those interested can read the article by the late academician D.S. Likhachev on this topic on the Internet.
    The persecution of the intelligentsia began a long time ago. The “leader of the world proletariat” also called her “lousy,” which is nonsense. But this is out of resentment. He failed to get into her number. The archives of our university, from which he allegedly graduated as an external student, do not contain any documents confirming this. He didn't finish it. And in general, as it turns out, he did not graduate from any university. But this is his personal problem. I hope everyone knows the history of the “philosophical ships” sent from Russia in 1922. Two of them left the Kruzenshtern embankment. Several more from other ports, in particular from Odessa. On these ships, the color of the intelligentsia, culture, and independent philosophical and social thought were expelled from Russia. It was impossible to shoot these people, as the Bolsheviks did in most cases. Their worldwide fame got in the way. But these people were forever deprived of the right to return to Russia under the threat of the death penalty. This expulsion cemented the tradition of a negative attitude towards the intelligentsia, defended by the author of the article.
    Some commentators expressed the view that it is not good to divide people into intelligentsia and non-intelligentsia. Let us then not divide people into mechanics and carpenters, shipbuilders and geologists, doctors and military men. All in one pile. Does not work? Humanity is too developed for its individual representatives to combine the qualities of all the above spheres of activity, each of which is necessary, but in its own case and for a specific reason. You wouldn’t call a doctor to your house if you need help from a plumber, and you wouldn’t go to a shoemaker’s shop for fresh pies (the famous story of the “shoemaker and the piemaker”). So, as humanity develops, it inevitably acquires new properties and qualities that require specialization, and the emergence of specialized population groups entails the formation and development of socio-professional subcultures, which, alas, differ from each other.
    Let's imagine that this is not true, that all people are the same. They feel and think the same (they dress, eat, look). Would you be interested in living next to such unified people? You simply won’t have anything to talk about with them, since they talk the same way as you; about the same thing as you. You don't have to argue with them, because your opinions initially coincide. Boring, not life! Likewise, the intelligentsia, with an implicit (unformulated) peculiar “by contradiction” appeal to which the author of the note makes, subconsciously feeling its necessity in the implementation of the process of social development, is also a specialized social group, but not a stratum, since everyone is conscientious, thinking, worried about the future of the Fatherland and the person acting in accordance with this, one way or another, becomes to a certain extent an intellectual and a patriot, since these concepts are inseparable!

        I'm in a hurry to get to work, so I don't have time to educate myself right now. Open the appropriate website and you will find everything there.
        I have already mentioned Berdyaev. He is the same age as my grandfather (both were born in 1874 and knew each other). My father is a late child (born in 1915), like me. So, this man is interesting because without receiving a formal education (having not graduated from either a gymnasium or a university), he became a professor at St. Petersburg University due to his all-Russian and international significance as a philosopher. And this happened before the revolution. Back then, people didn’t get jobs “through connections.” And even now in decent universities they don’t hire just anyone.

    The term INTELLIGENT itself has long been discredited! In the concept of the Russian people, an intellectual is a parasite..... There are people who are educated and live for something, and not just wasting their lives; I can’t help but call them INTELLIGENCE, why insult people. Since tsarist times, it was those who considered themselves intellectuals who hated their country and did everything to destroy it.
    Russia has many external enemies, but there is also an internal “intelligentsia”!!!!! And there are only 2 allies!! Her ARMY and NAVY!

      You shouldn't be doing that. An intellectual is a man of thought, but not of action. But, as a rule, they can move mountains with their thoughts.

      And if you are talking about the Decembrists and Revolutionaries - they did not discredit themselves - they were a product of their time, and a Great product, and not without the participation and indifference of the authorities to their people.

      For the rest, listen to the Blue Devils!

      A! The main thing is for a man to always be healthy.
      The purpose of our lesson is to improve health.
      So as not to poison him with smoking and drinking,
      We always go to physical therapy with great pleasure.

      AND! Let the intellectuals talk about pity
      But the biceps and triceps crunch under the heel.
      We don't read books, we don't go to the movies -
      We have long forgotten drooling humanity.

      Eh! If there is no contact, you can’t reach with your foot,
      Then, inevitably, you have to throw a knife.
      And we will always plant a knife and pen on the enemy,
      Hurray for Dolmatova’s good training!

    Young man! You are confused in concepts. Those who waste their lives have nothing to do with the intelligentsia, just as the intelligentsia have never been involved in wasting their lives. The intelligentsia are educated people who have a goal in life and have dedicated their lives to this goal.
    Did you live in tsarist times and communicate with the intelligentsia of that time? Then what don’t you like, say, Mechnikov, or Karamzin, or Klyuchevsky, or Solovyov, or Professor Filippov, or, finally, the diplomat and writer Griboyedov? But they are the intelligentsia. Why don’t you like Zhores Alferov, or Grigory Chkhartishvili (modern Dostoevsky), by the way, since we’re talking about it, what do you have against Dostoevsky?
    You confuse the intelligentsia with some glamorous (fancy) individuals who do not have an inner essence, with “office plankton”. As young people say: “You have to answer for your words.” But before answering, it would be nice to know their meaning. Otherwise, you will soon hear (or read) statements of this kind: “I don’t like the alphabet, because its letters can write bad things,” or, and unfortunately today we are already seeing this: “I don’t like people and I kill them, because there are scoundrels among them."
    You need to study, young man. Read, at least on the Internet.
    Do not confuse the words of Alexander the Third - the Peacemaker with the topic under discussion. And the intelligentsia of that time were doctors who treated poor peasants, teachers who taught their children, scientific agronomists (that’s what the specialty is called), who helped them get the desired harvests, veterinarians, etc. And you call these people enemies? And you spell the word Intelligentsia with errors. Apparently, this is the author's, due to excess literacy...

        Is this Boris Akunin the modern Dostoevsky? Ek, have you had enough, my friend? Well, if Ivan Karamazov and Erast Fandorin are equal for you in their spiritual essence, then of course. Then there are no questions.


        IVAN KARAMAZOV is the hero of F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov” (1878-1880), one of the three legitimate sons of the landowner Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov. I.K. appears in Dostoevsky's draft notes under the names "Ivan Fedorovich", "scientist", "murderer". The latter indicates the ideological concept of the novel: the real parricide is not Smerdyakov, but the atheist I.K. (this point of view was shared by A.S. Dolinin and K.V. Mochulsky). However, initially it was not excluded that it was I.K. will become a real parricide. “The most respectful son,” “Karl More” calls I.K. father, using the name of one of the heroes of Schiller’s drama “The Robbers”. I.K., hiding his hatred of his father under the guise of respectfulness, bearing moral responsibility for his death, and Dmitry Karamazov, convicted of imperfect parricide, occupy a position in the composition of the novel similar to the enemy brothers in “The Robbers.” Trying to introduce the hero into a broad literary and cultural-historical context, Dostoevsky compares I.K. with Goethe's Faust, Voltaire's Candida. Image of I.K. - further development in the work of Dostoevsky of the rebel hero, professing atheistic beliefs, calling for a revision of existing moral principles

        Erast Petrovich Fandorin embodied the ideal of an aristocrat of the XNUMXth century: nobility, education, devotion, incorruptibility, loyalty to principles. In addition, Erast Petrovich is handsome, he has impeccable manners, he is popular with the ladies, although he is always lonely, and he is unusually lucky in gambling.
        From an English Bonn, the boy perfectly adopted the English language, and his gymnasium education included French and German (later Erast Petrovich mastered Turkish and Bulgarian while participating in the Russian-Turkish war, Japanese - while serving as vice-consul of the Russian Empire in Yokohama, Japan. At the age of fifty he planned to learn Chinese and Arabic, but whether he carried out these plans is unknown. By the age of fifty-one he mastered Spanish, and by the age of fifty-two - Italian).

        Yes, in my opinion Erast somehow looks better

    It was written above that officers should also be counted among the intelligentsia. For me this is a dirty word.... I wouldn’t like to be called that. Now for me, intellectual is synonymous with NOVODVORSHCHINY!

    I’ll finish this topic for myself with a couple of quotes, since it’s time for my intellectual work. Today I have two pairs of lectures at the university and consultations with graduate students.
    Let's start with the intellectual Berdyaev N.A.
    “If for the intelligentsia science (and culture as a whole) are secondary, auxiliary disciplines, then what is the main thing for the Intelligentsia? The most important thing for the Russian intelligentsia is commitment to moral ideals.”
    As you can see, there is no thought about bending over to your superiors and wasting your life, as some commentators wrote! All this is disgusting to an intellectual.
    “An intellectual... is a person with mental integrity” Likhachev D.S.
    This means that not every holder of a diploma of any level can be considered an intellectual. Those who buy diplomas or dissertation texts, or even defense advice, have nothing to do with the intelligentsia. MENTAL DECORITY is one of the main criteria.
    But the quote is simpler, although more authentic. This is from the textbook of Culturology by L.N. Dorotova, Yu.V. Pykhanov. etc. (I took it from my granddaughter, she is already a student with me).
    "The intelligentsia is:
    -a large socio-cultural community, a social mass of people with an active social position, professionally engaged in creative mental work;
    -a social group is a group of people who have received a modern scientific education and have a system of knowledge that allows them to create in the world of knowledge in the most complex forms of culture - philosophy, science, religion, to engage in the development and dissemination of culture;
    The intelligentsia is heterogeneous in its composition: people with different education, spiritual world, located at different levels of the social hierarchy. United by a number of significant features:
    -orientation towards universal human qualities, commitment to the idea of ​​justice, a critical attitude towards oneself, the existing forms of government of society, far from the ideals of humanism;
    - the unity of the spiritual nature of the intellectual and the people whose interests and needs he expresses;
    -loyalty to the people, patriotism, active asceticism, creative obsession;
    -developed understanding of one’s “I”, independence, independence, love of freedom, of freedom of expression. Personality is the highest value;
    -courage, perseverance in defending one’s convictions dictated by conscience;
    - inconsistency, social and moral tension between different groups of the intelligentsia;
    -spirituality, high degree of self-awareness"
    Those who do not fit into the above criteria HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE INTELLIGENTSIA.
    I saw my task here not as justifying the intelligentsia, which, due to its self-sufficiency, does not need this, but in an attempt to DISCOVER AT LEAST TO SOME DEGREE THE MEANING OF THE CONCEPT FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT Familiar WITH IT OR HAVE A FALSE CONCEPT ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION. Of course, the author of the article did not know anything I wrote here and wrote about someone completely different from the intelligentsia.

      You cited quotes from Berdyaev and Likhachev about the intelligentsia and I completely and completely agree with them, but further from your granddaughter’s textbook: “a developed understanding of one’s “I”, independence, independence, love of freedom, of freedom of expression. Personality is the highest value;" These are the liberal values ​​imperceptibly implanted in the heads of our students. But they are disgusting to our mentality, since in Russia, in the USSR, the general has always been higher than the personal. Well, from time immemorial, Rus' lived as a community and the communal was more important, but now “I” is sticking out ", "MINE", "ME", and everyone else as they want, in general, according to Louis 14 "After us, even a flood." Because they are brought up in the spirit of not awareness and the ability to subordinate their “I” to the general one, but only everything “before themselves,” as the Ukrainian brothers say. And so the author talks about such “intellectuals”, by the way, he started about patriotism, but everything is like - it’s going down on the intelligentsia. You can forgive me, this seems to be his first article, he hasn’t learned, unlike the “intellectuals,” to hang noodles in people’s ears. It’s no accident that I put the word “intellectuals” in quotation marks, because I don’t mean real intellectuals .

        There is no liberalism here. This is existentialism. According to A. Camus: “A person exists to the extent that he realizes himself.” Consider this thought from a Nobel Prize winner. Try to become part of some “WE” without having your own “I”, i.e. beliefs, views, values, goals, interests, without realizing oneself. You will either be a nobody there, a stranger, or expendable material for one-time actions: break something, kill someone, and then the court will decide. You won't be accepted into a decent company. And to society too. If you are not a person, then who are you? A social brick that can be placed anywhere, without taking into account its individual characteristics? But there are no individual characteristics, personality is not important.
        The Russian community has always consisted of INDIVIDUALS! Otherwise, why veche? He gave the command and everyone went...
        As for "Tilke do sebe" - this is a separate topic.
        Alexander Matrosov, as well as Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, were individuals. It was precisely because of the values ​​they had cultivated that they (and thousands of others like them) accomplished their immortal feats. And a person who is not a person would go and give up. Or do you disagree?
        Only those who possess this “I” can subjugate their “I”. And he subordinates him to his highest convictions, which only a developed personality with a developed “I” possesses.
        Louis the 14th is the product of a completely different civilization (read S. Huntington’s “The Conflict of Civilizations”), so I don’t waste time on him.
        Intellectuals either exist or they don’t. (Definitions of the concept from Berdyaev and Likhachev were given above). Therefore, I can say the following about intellectuals: either they exist and meet the given criteria, or they are someone else who does not meet the criteria, but for some reason is trying to unjustifiably classify themselves among them. Why? Either for the purpose of discrediting, or for reasons of prestige. But intellectuals have nothing to do with this.

    It was at this time that people who fell into the intelligentsia by accident went into other areas of activity. The intelligentsia is a self-organizing system capable of self-purification.

    Dear 120352, You yourself rightly noted that people who ended up in the intelligentsia ACCIDENTALLY went to other spheres. I personally do not classify them as intelligentsia. The trouble is that true intellectuals do not shout that they are intellectuals at every corner, they there is no time, they are busy with real work, like a mechanic, baker, turner and other very worthy professions. But that random scum that has left, it screams loudly, even yells everywhere it can, that it is precisely it that is the intelligentsia “the salt of the Russian land.” Such intelligentsia screamed in February 17, August 91. These opportunists always climb up the on the crests of the waves, they occupy warm places where they can chat and do nothing because they really don’t know how to do anything, only with their tongues. And it’s based on this mug that screams the loudest of all that people form an opinion about the intelligentsia. But a real intellectual remains silent, and in my opinion it’s in vain. It’s time to decide “who are YOU, masters of culture?” That’s what one of the articles was called, I think. And those, that they are shouting that they are intellectuals, this is precisely what Lenin’s definition is suitable for. So where are you Russian intellectuals-patriots? Why are you keeping silent? Yesterday in V. Solovyov’s program I saw one real Russian intellectual who does not remain silent in a rag, but honestly and openly expresses his opinion - A.A. PROKHANOV. This is an intellectual and a patriot. Where are the rest?

But those who understand that our intelligentsia and the West are two big differences - they hate our intellectuals, liberals (in the bad sense of the word) anti-Stalinists (please do not confuse them with anti-Stalinists, these are, again, completely different people) and other similar figures who diligently instill in the Russian nation their own problems and complexes. And many do not even hate them, they simply treat treat them like a cross between a maggot and a tapeworm..."

      Patriots, of course, exist and will continue to exist. But, excuse me, you have no idea what the intelligentsia is. For the last three days, I, an intellectual in the nth generation, have been working from 8:30 to 21:00. That’s why I didn’t continue the conversation that started on April 8th. Worked with undergraduate and graduate students. At the same time, forgive me, this is how the higher education system works, I only received a salary for 5 hours a day, and for other time spent it does not await me. It’s simply a matter of conscience: “We are forever responsible for those we have tamed” (Antoine de Saint Exupéry, The Little Prince). This is the norm for an intellectual. I think that my fellow intellectuals and I do not deserve the title of quitter. Although there are certainly plenty of loafers, slackers and even embezzlers. We are similar only in appearance: we have the same overalls - suit, shirt, tie, clean shoes. They “work” as officials, but, by definition, they are not intellectuals. And we are on the other side. In terms of the development and dissemination of culture in the form of higher education, i.e. intellectuals. And we don’t hide this. But we are proud that the life expectancy of our graduates will exceed the life expectancy of any official.

        I think different sections of society understand the word “intellectual” in different terms. The common people perceive him as an incomprehensible creature, far from life and the people. Power is a tool that helps control the people. Someone confuses being intelligent with simply being cultured. I think an intellectual is a person with intelligence sufficient to understand what is happening in society, regardless of the complexity of what is happening. Able to separate truth and lies. Capable of independently acting in the interests of either truth or lies. Functionally, it is a link between Politics and the People, which either helps the common people understand what is happening, or deliberately deceives them in someone else's interests. In essence, he is an intelligent person who can be either a friend or an enemy.

        In the word "intellectual" there are three words - FOREIGN INTELLECTUAL AGENT... The thought, alas, is not mine, but I completely share it.

          I began by defining this phenomenon, and the fact that “different layers of society understand the word ... understand different concepts” does not do these layers any credit. You don’t confuse the concept of “winter” with the concept of “summer”. Each phenomenon has its own characteristics. It's warm in summer, cold in winter. And here the different segments of the population, it seems, are more unanimous. Likewise, the concepts “Intelligence”, “Intellectual” also have significant features, however, from the comments it follows that these signs are not known to everyone. I will add to the definitions (definition - designation of the limits, definitions of a particular fact) given earlier one more significant sign: “The intelligentsia is a group of people who have a critical way of thinking, a high degree of reflection, and the ability to systematize knowledge and experience.” This is what the author of many comments lacks in critical thinking, systematization of knowledge and experience. And their statements are nothing more than slander .
          And I have already written, and it seems more than once, that the concept of the Intelligentsia, the Intellectual is purely Russian. Their author is the Russian writer Boborykin, the date of birth of the concept is 1860. And all sorts of improvisations, in which for someone something is visible somewhere, and even from three words (well, not letters) are the fruit of a fevered imagination. Although this thought is yours (although it is not a thought at all, but an insinuation), at least it is not yours.

    The article is excellent and extremely necessary for all intellectual workers to think about whether someone has accidentally slipped into the ranks of the intelligentsia.
    By the way, the concept of intelligentsia does not exist in any, at least in European, languages. There is a concept of intellectual. An intellectual is a mental worker, and an intellectual is a mental state, a medical diagnosis.
    So the Russian intelligentsia, from its very birth, positioned itself as an implacable enemy of the Russian people. She always called the people to the ax in order to seize power on their backs and steer the state helm to the fullest, for she always feels like the chosen people, destined to rule the dark masses and drive the stupid into happiness with an iron hand.

      It is impossible to fall into the ranks of the intelligentsia, since this is the highest level. You can only grow there. And there is no need to rave about the enemies of the Russian people. The intelligentsia always devoted themselves to him. Read more. Maybe you will become an intellectual, and then grow up to be an intellectual. The intelligentsia has never been interested in secular power. Another thing is spiritual power. We have it. (Remember the great Russian writers - they are all intellectuals, forgive me: Nekrasov, Turgenev, Belinsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov...)! I have never met intellectuals, although this is my circle, who show interest in politics. Politics, worldly power are dirt.

        judging by the way you intelligently silenced all dissenters on the topic, then you are just a real intellectual, but here is the fact of how our intelligentsia behaves

        The intelligentsia warned European leaders about the revival of lawlessness in Russia

        Representatives of Russian human rights organizations and some scientific, cultural and political figures addressed the heads of a number of states, including the United States and EU countries, with an appeal in which they called the political processes taking place in Russia “a real threat of mass persecution of dissidents, a revival of lawlessness and suppression of the rights of citizens ". A document published on Wednesday on the website of Mikhail Khodorkovsky's press center states that "this threat appeared with the rise of Vladimir Putin and his KGB colleagues to the highest echelons of power." The suppression of democratic institutions and the redistribution of property in the country with the help of security forces and the courts today is no longer in doubt, those who signed the appeal are sure. As an example of this, they cite “mass persecution for political reasons with the help of fabricated FSB accusations of citizens of treason, disclosure of state secrets, and economic crimes.”
        Including, according to the authors of the document, over the past years, entrepreneurs Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, scientists Valentin Danilov and Igor Sutyagin, 39 NBP activists, lawyers Mikhail Trepashkin and Sergei Brovchenko, and “victims of lawlessness and arbitrariness of government officials” have been subjected to far-fetched criminal prosecutions over the past years. number in the hundreds and thousands.
        One of the reasons for the escalation of the “anti-democratic processes” taking place in Russia, from the point of view of the signatories of the appeal, is the “sluggish and inconsistent reaction of the leaders of European states and governments to massive violations of human rights in Russia.”
        In this regard, the authors of the document, including Valeria Novodvorskaya, Sergei Kovalev, Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Ryzhkov and 19 other people, call on the leaders of the EU countries and authoritative international organizations to “publicly and unequivocally demand from the Russian Federation strict compliance with all legal and humanitarian obligations it has accepted.” ", as well as promote the recognition of Danilov, Trepashkin, Khodorkovsky and Lebedev as political prisoners.

        I have never met intellectuals, although this is my circle,


        I keep remembering your words about your intelligence and once again I am convinced that it is not for nothing that the Russian people do not like anti-legends, you are rude, slippery, boorish, and think only about your own peace of mind (as you clearly answered the CITIZEN.)
        By the way, politics and the intelligentsia are inseparable, remember Govorukhin, Kobzon, Pozner, Zhirinovsky (no one canceled his dessert), Zyuganov, Novodvorskaya, and hundreds of other deputies and politicians who consider themselves intellectuals

    somewhere in the 7th minute the enumeration begins as Solzhenitsyn describes the camera, while it says book 1, chapter 5, so for the sake of interest I ran through chapter 5 and I didn’t find anything there. Book publishing house Soviet writer 1990

    Read carefully:
    Every little thing in the cell is interesting to me where the dream has gone, and when the peephole does not look, I sneakily study. There, at the top of one wall, there is a small indentation of three bricks, and a blue paper curtain hangs on it. They already managed to answer me: this window, yes! - there is a window in the cell! - and the curtain is anti-air disguise. Tomorrow will be a weak daylight, and in the middle of the day the cutting lamp will be extinguished for several minutes. How much is that! - live in daylight in the afternoon! Still in the cell is a table. On it, in the most prominent place - a kettle, chess, a stack of books. (I still did not know why in the most prominent. It turns out, again, according to the Lubyanka routine: in every minute peering through the peephole, the overseer must make sure that there are no abuses of these gifts of the administration: they do not hammer the wall with a teapot; that no one swallows chess at the risk of paying and cease to be a citizen of the USSR; and no one managed to burn books in an intention to burn the prison. And the prisoners' own glasses were recognized as weapons so dangerous that they can’t even lie on the table at night, the administration takes them until the morning). What a cozy life! - chess, books, spring beds, good mattresses, clean linen. I don’t remember during the whole war that I slept like that. Grated parquet floor. Almost four steps can be taken in a walk from window to door. No, this central political prison is a clean resort. And the shells do not fall ... I remembered either their high clapping over my head, then the growing whistle and the groan of a gap. And how gently the mines whistle. And how everything is shaking from the violin's egg capsules. I remembered the wet slush near Wormdiite, where they had arrested me and where ours were now mud and wet snow, so as not to let the Germans out of the boiler. Damn it, you don’t want me to fight - no need.

    I would like to note that one of the founders of the United States is directly related to Belarus (Russia), as well as a number of Belarusian minds contributed to the security of the United States, so a US attack on Belarus is not a Cowboy thing. Still, we are not Poland. And even if such a situation is predicted, Belarus will be able to squeeze and exhaust the United States. Whatever you say, patriotism is the most powerful weapon. Here the government has chosen the right policy - they cultivate love for their country and their Motherland, no matter how Western demos try to reduce all this to dictatorship. Well done Belarusians and their President. With all the budget deficit, the Army is not in last place, and it is a source of personnel both for private business and for the future management of the country.

    Although the article is anonymous, it is unique. In any case, it evokes a violent psycho-emotional reaction in “homo sapiens” and provides rich food for the mind. It took me a long time to determine my attitude towards what was written until I understood (as it seemed to me) its direction. This is TROLLING!
    Let me explain. The author puts pressure on our bleeding memories, returning each of us to the 90s. At the same time, apparently deliberately, he makes a number of mistakes. Something like this: the intelligentsia is one whining, unfit for anything, amorphous formation that does not know how to do anything with its hands. She takes out her inferiority complex on those around her. She is always dissatisfied with everything, and so on.
    Produced substitution of concepts “Westernizer” (the type who believes it is right to follow the Western path of development, taking everything positive from there. Example: Peter 1), to the “Americanist” who is unacceptable by many. Some people are starting to get stuck. Because definitions are incorrectly defined, confusion ensues and internal conflict arises. The office plankton, led by the Judaizing beau monde (eternally hungry, anxious and dissatisfied with life), without sufficient grounds, is declared the face of the Soviet INTELLIGENCE. Doctors, teachers, engineers, scientists, architects, officers, etc. are perplexed and indignant: why am I considered one of these whiners??? I work honestly, support my family, I can do a lot with my own hands and head, but a priori they write me down as a reactionary, a detractor of the country and the system...
    But what's most interesting! From false premises, the author suddenly draws “correct”, watered-down, correct conclusions. Marvelous! They are patriotic, and seem to cancel out all the negativity splashed onto the heads of site visitors. But feelings are bubbling, “our indignant mind is boiling” and is looking for a way out in fasting. And then “commodity” with your opinion and cockroaches in your head... And-and-and... the province rushed!
    Goal achieved! The forum is seething with passions and mutual accusations. The face of every “true gentleman” is clearly visible. Please write a psychological portrait.

        Yes, you don’t let me get bored, then Bolotnaya, then ribbons, then marches. Already this year, NGOs have pumped out 1 billion bucks to pay for fun events. I respect your work as a teacher. But the word intellectual, just like before the revolution, is compromised.

        Please don't generalize. Someone wrote “An intellectual is a destructive, offended by life, sick person with hypertrophied self-esteem, always trying to prove something to someone, to rise above a defeated opponent.”

        and also “Like people in white coats, almost angels.”...But inside they are predatory wolves. Know them by their deeds" (somewhere in the Bible)))). 1. The doctor knows that many, many diseases are caused by parasites, but does not say, because this is the great secret of super business, called the medical egregor. Another doctor will not knows, but also a doctor. 2. The doctor knows that 90% of deaths in the country are due to cardiovascular problems due to moderate alcohol consumption in the country, but he does not name the true causes of death, labeling everything with the vague words “stroke”, “heart rupture”, for this is the great secret of the medical egregor. An intellectual is a mask of “decency”, which helps to hide low thoughts and actions, helps to hide limited thinking and lack of conceptual literacy."

    I think that simply a significant part of the forum members equate the concepts of intellectual and liberal in our negative perception of this word.
    It would not be correct to assign the term intellectual to some particular group of people, so to speak, on a social basis. Well, for example, it makes me sick to my stomach to call such a rude person as Novodvorskaya intelligent (I wanted to write a woman, but didn’t dare). But the pensioner Uncle Vasya from the next door, an intelligent, kind, sympathetic man, who grew up in the village, went through the entire war, raising his grandchildren, is always ready to help his neighbor to the best of his ability, and who has not lost interest in life, can well be called an intelligent person.

    I don’t understand who the author means by the term “intellectual”. For example, I work at a factory as a leading design engineer, have a higher education, and fall under the definition of an intellectual in the Soviet sense of the word.
    Author's words:

    First of all, the native intelligentsia raised its ugly stigma. Alas, but still under the USSR (and its roots are completely lost in Tsarist Russia), this specific layer of the population was formed - these are people who:
    a) They didn’t like and didn’t know how to work, but they had extraordinary self-conceit, and, as a result, they got an inferiority complex: “If I’m so smart, why not rich?”

    It turns out that I and all the technical specialists - “They didn’t like and didn’t know how to work.”
    You need to think before you stain paper (information media) with such articles.
