Abstract

The author analyses the attitude of the Russian intelligentsia towards the October Revolution as well as the conditions for the existence of the intelligentsia during the revolutionary period. He shows the different reception of the revolution by various groups of the intelligentsia. He describes the development of the cultural and intellectual life at that time and points out the gradual isolation from the world, the deterioration of the economic conditions for the existence of the intelligentsia. Taking as example the life of some great Russian intellectuals (writers, artists) he describes the fate of various groups of the Russian intelligentsia.
