After the catastrophe, the brainchild of both Lenin's class of revolutionaries and his followers – the leaders and representatives of the most ignorant caste – the chairmen of the Central Committee of the Party and the general secretaries – of the USSR, the only ones on whom more or less human morality rested were the intellectuals. They, the hungry and disenfranchised, held the defense and morality in the field of internationalism and justice – all as they were taught by their senior mentors and the high human morality written by the wise classics. It was they who held their heads proudly, like impoverished Spanish grandees, when all the so-called passers-by bowed and humiliated themselves. Likewise, it was they, the real intellectuals, who by their very existence prevented their comrades in the shop or work from losing face and hating heroes if they sold out and caved in. How could a nonentity with modern regalia and academic degrees, a pro-government and amoebic been taking the form of the surrounding reality be called the last cohort? They could only have a name when everything else could be removed or simply not recognized.
But tell me, what part of society rushed to the market at breakneck speed, as if they were giving something bright, something vital? And I’ll tell you – not the intelligentsia. I don’t mean those dregs, the people of metropolitan and provincial Melpomene. All pop singing rag-tag comedians and clowns of different ages and origins. These people could fall in love with the market involuntarily and from moral hunger. They were forced because the masses have gone wild. From moral hunger because no one paid for the name. Morality, honor, and conscience strain everyone. The one who did not have it, they rushed to him. I’m not going to embarrass anyone here. It’s pointless. Society has fallen ill with other values. There are only provincials around. I determine with a dry and cold tongue Who is the hero of the present time and for what? Why are they the hungriest? Because they were insecure.
Revcon defines people by their existing reflection. And it also highlights the perspective. And since Revcon operates on its terms, Revcon does not care about anyone's formal and demonstrative merits because no one and nothing can be the ideal today. What will happen to such an elite?
Well. The smallest conscience in size is those who should not have it because of the scarcity of reason. The fastest and most passionate desires to incorporate new levels, ranks and regalia are Zerefs, the Zeremids, and just the other peasants. From past or present. But they are not literally hungry. And traditionally. And they are not traditionally active from hunger, although they converge from a low rank and a provincial. Traditional people were in the tail end for reasons of their castes. But they know that they should be ahead after the next explosion. And the arrival of the market, like the arrival of the revolution, is an explosion.
For tradition, the most important thing is a hierarchy.
That is, traditional people have this competition does not stop for a minute. The higher you are in the hierarchy today, the literally less hungry you are. Climb higher on the system’s cone, and no one will remember what you were before – simple unscrupulousness, characteristic of the mass. But the intelligentsia did not rush there! Only the new upper-class and nonentities rushed in. Let them be thousands. But, I claim they have the same jumps to the market in their biographies. Because they were nonentities before the market, the revolution raised them to the honorary regiment in the Roman cohort. Who was nothing will become everything!
The revolution only radicalized the lower classes to create a new hierarchy. They would have rushed without the revolution, in any case, they would have shown diligence, diligence, loyalty to the tsar and the fatherland, and so it happened, for example, with their fathers-loyal servants of the throne. But the market has excited new hungry and large families. And where there are needs and experiences. In other words, the literal physical hunger is adjacent to traditional hunger, where the main food, is the main status hierarchy. The hierarchy guarantees both food and drink and other respect for the people. The main thing is to climb higher. That was what the intelligentsia – the last cohort of honor and name-had to resist. True, they would defend themselves with the country and morals, as befits a selfish and stubborn “shit,” according to Lenin. I would give a lot to smell this shit as much as possible. So, there was a past elitism that everyone could see what these people had. And that there is continuity. Not a celebration of the next unscrupulous upstarts.
Here is the main thing to learn in the form of a conclusion.
The traditional people have the best-the most miserable at the previous stage of traditional history. But those who were the elite of the past, even without regalia and degrees, remain elite, even if the newly rich people will try to bribe them or trample into the dirt. It is significant for the new elite that all the people are always hungry and capable of various meanness. Here one might doubt that meanness is many moral outcasts. However, the traditional hierarchy obliges all the time to strive to climb up by any means, that is, even by meanness, which is not denied by the market, and the market creates the greatest opportunities for meanness. Hierarchy, once again, hierarchy. Other matters in sideways. But even here, if there were still "shit" as a cohort of great legionnaires, it would be equal to a pile of new and monetary shit. Equal! Even in the singular, the individual will be able to resist barbarism. Therefore, many hungry people will traditionally try to have at least some name.

GLOSSARY
The Zeref- a traditional person with rigidly set social actions, low reflection almost zero, hence the word zeref-reflection zero (zeref).). Has no semitones, serves the idols of the genus, communicates in the circle of native blood. Zeref has no semitones of perception, is categorical, irreconcilable, hostile to others and to another opinion in the development of rejection of "not your own"
The zeref's loop – the baby boom, overheating of the population.
The Zerot (zeroot = zeref+root) – the traditional feudal elite
The zerot's loop creates a solid cast, impenetrable social barriers. None of the lower castes can enter the feudal elite—the lack of social mobility pre-revolutionary situation.
The Remid – a new traditional elite, rulers, officials, authorities, teachers; remid put actions for zerefs, determine morality, laws, politics, reflection average-middle (remiddle).
The remid's loop – the elite's struggle with the brightest personality, the cooperation of second and third parties against the hero and the prophet.
The Refag is a person of a trading civilization in several generations; reflection is high, selfish, utilitarian-refag (re + high).
The Zeremid is a man of the first generation of traditional elites (or city, fresh citizen). He has a half-hard social reflex custom, neither the inferiority complex that wants to cover up, so he invents a new ancestry, creates a fine root and has the fancy "tail" behind. If this is a modern Zeremid, it is usually a former villager who has superficially mastered urban life culture, and he is half urban and half rural.
Zefa is a man from the city's first generation with inclinations towards the market and speculation, and to trade, at least what, he was forced by circumstances.
