Sumario:In the Soviet Union today, one finds the conditions that are often found to prevail in organizations in which degrees and types of responsibility are very sharply defined -- strictly disciplined schools, armies or other rigid hierarchies in which the differences between the governors and the governed are extremely precise. This article defines chasm between the governors and the governed as the deepest single division noticeable in Soviet society. It discusses the Russian life and the Russian values. It relates the Party leaders or bureaucrats' attitude towards intellectuals and how some intellectuals are looked on as either semi-renegades and creatures of the government, or else as blatant political operators or agitators.
