We eradicate the townspeople as a class!

Writer and literary critic Andrei Arkhangelsky on the YouTube channel “ Bild in Russian” indicates the persecution of theater figures:

“In all this, I see such a swing not just on the sphere of culture, but in general on everything urban, urban, if you want consciousness. Well, we are saying the "intelligentsia", but this is wider.

In general, this whole class of citizens - it is not suitable for the current situation, it does not suit power.

And if it is suddenly the beginning of some serious persecution against a whole class, [this], in general, for Soviet ideology (class enemy, that's all) is a familiar thing. ”
