This book focuses on the intelligentsia's \u003ci\u003eMyth, Mission, Metamorphosis\u003c\/i\u003e as discovered in literature, journalism, and theater. The chapters define essential elements of the \u003ci\u003emyth\u003c\/i\u003e of the intelligentsia as a distinctive social group and a spiritual formation claiming high moral standards and expectations for the self and for society. Second, contributions explore how the intelligentsia sees its \u003ci\u003emission\u003c\/i\u003e on various historical stages as inextricably linked with Russia's (and the Soviet Union's) cultural destiny, especially its literary and other artistic creations. Finally, the volume addresses the \u003ci\u003emetamorphosis\u003c\/i\u003e of the intelligentsia over centuries, as socio-political factors shaped its persistence and its perpetual transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925120434334,"sku":"ING-9798887196695","price":188.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798887196695.jpg?v=1782960070","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798887196695","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
