Abstract
The place of the intelligentsia in the social division of labour is between the ruling social group and the working class. It is the basic social group for spreading and controlling new results of knowledge, ideas and ideologies. Therefore it is of great importance for the reproduction of socialism as the modern industrial society.
According to the standard of living the intelligentsia is situated between the ruling group and the working class but it is little bit closer to the ruling group. According to the characteristics of the way of life it is also closer to the ruling class. The differences between the members of intelligentsia, which has been found in 'a survey, are based on the type of work, the sector of production, social and territorial origin. So these differences are produced by several causes. The dominant characteristics of the intelligentsia most often can be found among those who are born in a city/town, who do not work in or for direct production, who are self-reproductive and who work for the progress of civilization. Such characteristics can also be found most often among the members of intelligentsia whose work is not influenced from above.
