the position of the intelligenzia changed
but little. The change was entirely in
methods of oppression. The old regime
used ito buy brains" The mass sought to
compel it to do its bidding And when
the storm still failed to abate and the peo-
pie sought to steer the ship of state safely
through the tempestuous waves with little
apparent success the people turned to the
intelligenzia and shouted, "Sabotage!"
OF the sort. The fact that the intelligenzia
refused to follow the people in their efforts
at the all-Russian riot which the Bolsheyiki
proclaimed as the real social revolution
found its roots much deeper than in the
superficial and irresponsible charge of
Sabotage" The intelligenzia never de-
rived its thought from any Of the aforemen-
TONED two sources-the old regime or the
mass. 10 be sure, in a certain sense the
lntelllgenzia drew its inspiration from the
mass, that ideal of the mass which the
lntellgenzia created for itself and the ideal
OF social service which it followed Hav-
ing created an ideal people, the intelli-
genzia proceeded to endow it with ideal
N""A'N'So, anu odlu. All IOT Cne DeO-
pie - all through the people" The
latter part of the slogan was, when
anal yzed subjectively, nothing but an oath
Which the intelligenzia made to its own con-
science For in reality, while the intelli-
genzla found practical means of expression
IN this or that revolutionary party and
taught the people the theories of surplus
value and collectivism, it retained full lib
erty of conscience, always subjecting it's
social and political formulas to the broader
point OF view that, after ALL it was not
serving any particular class as an end in
itself but the greater idea of rational
system of society Its "cass conscious
ness" was simply the basis of larger
social consciousness. The acts of the in
telligenzia were not acts for which anv re-
muneration was expected. No, the men,
bers of the Russian intelligenzia-they. the
descendants of Radischetf, Bielinsky. Cher
nlshevsky, Dobroliuboff and Pissaref-
their work for the people and through the
people was work of conscience above all
And to their conscience they owed their
final allegiance

been experiencing for the last twelve
months and raises his voice in behalf of
dccency and consciencc:
"Conscicnce is dead. All conceptions OF
justice are directed toward wild division
of material goods. The purpose of this di-
vision is especially clear in the cases
where the beggar sells to another beggar
an oozysmnss of mud wrapped in straw and
calls it bread.
Half starved beggars are fooling and
robbing each other. This is the
process that fills our day. And the
sponsibilty for all this--for all this dirt,
blood, meanness and infamy-will be placed
by the enemies OF the working class upon
tho working class itself upon the intelli-
genzn that has proven helpless to stem
the moral dissolution of the mass grown
wild and savage. Where there is too much
politics There is no place for culture. The
policy Of the new powers that be is perme-
ated entirely by fear Of the lnass and the
desire to fatter it-this chief weakness of
our Soviet government-and it is almost
quite useless to speak of conscience, of JUS
tice, of the mutual respect of human be-
ipgs, of anything and everything which our
new political cyhicism terms sentimental

live"
