Russische Elite als Wegbereiter und Opfer des Oktober
Russian Elite as Pioneer and Victim of October

Summary/Abstract: The question of the people whose lives and work are connected with the October Revolution is no longer often raised. If it happens, one often sees them as victors and defeated, in the political constellation that brought about the October event-be it a judgment of history or a historical accident. Alternatively, we are trying here to see not the political opponents of those days but the intellectual stratum of Russia in its relationship to the October Revolution within the first third of our century, which is decisive for the country. It goes without saying that the scope of this booklet only allows a reference to certain relationships and no claim to a rounded historical investigation is made. By speaking primarily of the elite, we are carrying out a separation within the Russian spiritual stratum. Therefore, it is necessary to point out the most important features of this social stratum.
