Die, unfortunate one!

Recently, a user with the inclinations of a pogromist looked into my LiveJournal and said that in Ukraine, again, intellectuals are muddying the waters. This hatred of the stupid mob and its leaders is unmistakable: if someone wants freedom, aspires to Europe and NATO, then he is certainly an intellectual. In our swamp, where waders are supposed to praise and thank, the stars have converged into a configuration that does not bode well for the intelligentsia. The time of state zhlobstvo and popular prostration does not encourage people to listen to the quiet voice of this reflective layer between the hammer and the anvil. I remember how a Georgian KGB officer in 1993, when I was forcibly deported from Poti to Tuapse during the civil war, just after the overthrow of Zviad Gamsakhurdia, knocked me down and said: “You are both intellectuals with your Zviad, that’s why you stir up the water” . Yes, Zviad Gamsakhurdia was definitely an intellectual and a prominent scientist, a martyr and a patriot, and the Georgian secret police did not need any intellectuals for the fake elections: neither Russian nor their own. Here, Mr. Pavlovsky, a supporter and apologist for the Putin regime, at a conference at the Russian State Humanitarian University, in general, said that the intelligentsia should die out as soon as possible, otherwise the second February would not happen. It is interesting that the Black Hundreds will never admit their share of responsibility for February, although the intelligentsia alone is not enough to provoke the Februarys, you also need autocracy in half with the "siloviki" who will get involved in some kind of Balkan or Caucasian war. But the most passionate statement on this topic, of course, was the invective of Vitaly Tretyakov, who was the first to understand that the intelligentsia will not die voluntarily, assistance must be provided. The editor, zealous for power, offered to send the intelligentsia somewhere far away for thirty years, and then return it. By the way, this is not new. Here Angela Merkel will be delighted when a new “philosophical ship” sails to Germany. True, Lenin sent to Stettin only such well-known scientists as Berdyaev. The bulk of the intelligentsia remained for the "emergency" and the Gulag. And few returned after thirty years... If all the intelligentsia were to be expelled, Mr. Tretyakov would probably offer to save money on transport. One more Bolshevik know-how can be repeated: loading onto barges, and cutting through the bottom in the White Sea. So they got rid of white officers. You can always find extra, decommissioned barges in order to write off the intelligentsia that is superfluous for the current government. Or follow the advice of Ivanushka from The Master and Margarita: “I would like to take this Kant ... for three years to Solovki!” After all, maybe thirty years. Somehow, the Bolsheviks and the current Kremlin Chekists are planning a complete coincidence of opinions about the intelligentsia. Lenin himself said about the intelligentsia that it was r... o. And the patron of the current government, Felix Edmundovich, calls the "gang" "bourgeois doctors, students and other intelligentsia." Allegedly, they are "mobilized by the bourgeoisie." Do you recognize the Kremlin speeches about the opposition that works for the oligarchs? Comrade Dzerzhinsky further declares that there are "counter-revolutionaries who are such by nature." Who is this? Among others - again "students and raznochintsy" (that is, intellectuals)! And in 1919, the same Dzerzhinsky offers to take scientists hostage! (In order to be shot after terrorist attacks not committed by them.) And in 1920, the prosecutor in the Tactical Center case spoke even more clearly: groundlessness, flabbiness and blind devotion to their god - capital. Why is this whole audience so leaned on the intelligentsia? We will find the answer from the same Lenin: "Sowing confusion by slanderous distortion of facts." That is, those who speak the truth and thereby shake the thrones and verticals of power. Observers from History. Weak and small, unarmed and ironic, in whose hands are the annals and opinions of their descendants. The day before yesterday, yesterday and today's Chekists are afraid of worldly judgment. Criminals always dream of extinction of judges and witnesses.
