The “elite intelligentsia” is best described as a group of individuals who engage in mental labour aimed at disseminating culture. This group of people—made up of doctors, lawyers, engineers, writers, students, and even lovers and unhappy wives—are the focus of Maxim Gorky’s Summerfolk, a 1904 Russian play that examines the intense anxieties and hopes of the elite intelligentsia of Russia in the early 20th century.
