intellegentsii reaction to the events at the Manege

Samu rekatsiyu describe does not make sense. Here the standard set - "Nazis," "rednecks," "stupid fans," neschasnye LKN "," why the police is idle, "and so on. And here we see the essence of intellegentsii. Sami intelegenty like to consider themselves progressive layer of the population. Likewise, they are characterized pokazushnoe Westernization - reverence for culture Western countries, their way of life. But what is characteristic response to events in the Manezhke they have a purely despotic Asian. Discharge the same event, in fact, were the manifestations of Russian civil society. Civil society - it is there what is the basis of modern Western countries. In this intellegenty idolize Western countries, but when the germs of this society begin to emerge from Russian, they know where this will lead. And will it cause that will not intellegentsiya none is needed, its role declined significantly.
And there should be marked no small distinction - between intellegentsiey and intellectual elite. The latter is a group of citizens who have intellectual labor have a positive effect on society - academics, journalists, artists, writers, etc.. Intellegentsiya same, the intellectual elite does not apply. Intellegentsiya, this stratum of the population, which also deals with intellectual, ahem, difficult, but Here's the benefit to society, it does not work, and often achieves an influential position in society expense of indulging in financial and political elite of the country. For example, writer and historian, wrote a detailed work on the medium tank in World War II refers to the intellectual elite. A writer of "erotic stories" writing about fucking with the hedgehog - to intellegentsii.
That is why one should realize one important thing - the role of intellegentsii soveremnnom society substantially exaggerated. Consequently menie people related to it should also be considered without islishnih aspirated. as related to intellegentsii not condition intellectual development. And in many cases quite the opposite.
