Sumario:	This article discusses the class stratifications in the Soviet Union. The author describes the three groups comprising the Soviet intelligentsia: (1) the small nucleus of top professional politicians who form the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Party; (2) a much more numerous upper layer of the bureaucracy which is well paid and enjoys substantial privileges; and (3) all other educated people, who occupy the lower posts of the Soviet apparatus. Nothing in the Soviet Union is decided by ballot, and the rank and file of citizens play no political role.
