The criminal, sub-criminal and pre-criminal mass fills the place of the intelligentsia. The essay.
If the intelligentsia is destroyed on a systematic basis, then it is quite natural to ask the question: who is filling the vacated space?
A general view of the picture suggests: the intelligentsia (and the middle class) is systematically replaced (supplanted) by a criminal, sub-criminal and pre-criminal mass.
Analysis of the criminal mass is a matter of a separate criminological research. However, there is growing evidence that the traditional list of criminal associations (for example, gangs, organized criminal groups, organized criminal communities, etc.) is supplemented by a new subject - a criminal horde. A criminal horde is, in a sense, a criminal swarm that in some cases does not have a clear structure and certain control systems.
Representatives of the criminal, sub-criminal and pre-criminal masses are more or less covered by the criminal sub-culture.
Take, for example, the layer that is minimally covered by the criminal sub-culture - the layer of professional athletes, or, narrowly, professional football players.
Athletes were respected in Ancient Greece. Since its inception, football has become increasingly popular and has achieved greater economic success.
There was an interesting episode in the history of the USSR. Just when the time had come for the ruling party to pout [to give the answer] for the beloved Nikita Sergeyevich and to present the built communism to the people, the ruling party presented to the people (instead of communism?) the Olympic games of 1980 ... Or maybe it was necessary to honestly present communism, or to admit its absence and to deal with this topic, and to hold the Olympics in a separate time, so as not to create an unpleasant effect of synchronization?
However, the closer the time of economic pleasures promised to the population of Russia (tens of millions of high-tech jobs, preservation of retirement age, etc.) approached, the more athletes, in particular, football players, came to the fore.
But at the same time, residents of Russia are increasingly hearing about bankruptcies, about the economic difficulties of football clubs. From the slurred information, one can even assume that for many clubs the main source of livelihood is not selling tickets for matches, not advertising, not trading rights to grown football talents, but the money of sponsors ... This is clearly a pre-criminal situation ...
The maintenance of hyper-stadiums was hung up on budgets (or a year, or a month, the maintenance of a hyper-stadium costs several hundred million rubles) ....
The good thing - football - turned into something incomprehensible, pre-criminal ...
Depriving numerous champions (under the pretext of doping investigations) of their titles makes a completely sad impression ...
It so happened that numerous medical institutions - (real and potential) fighters with coronavirus - began to come to the fore.
We have, it turns out, a health care system! (Were not in time ... were not in time ... But if they developed remote medicine and digital technologies at a faster pace, then maybe there would be fewer of these institutions, and all the participants in the meeting could be gathered at one small table - how many anti-epidemic institutions in some underdeveloped country? An international medical mission? But on every outskirts - a football field...).
Meanwhile, athletes filled the ranks of the ruling party and seats in the State Duma.
Someone will suggest that in the near future they will be replaced by specialists in virology and bacteriology ...
I don't think, I don't think ...
In general, filling the place of the liquidated intelligentsia with criminal, subcriminal and pre-criminal layers becomes a fact.
The results are shown to us in real time ...
