Abstract
The intelligentsia has played a particular role within the context of Russian history. The ambivalence (Firsov 1995) of its role can be illustrated by examples relating to all three periods of its existence in Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet societies.
Revised and translated version of the paper presented at the sociological seminar “The elite in post-communist societies” held in Moscow on March 28 – 29, 1996.
