Intelligentsia is a unique Russian cultural phenomenon and core cultural perception. The Russian intelligentsia inherently have Messianic Consciousness, independent criticism, struggle spirit and intense religiousness. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the revolutionary transformation of the society, in the new cultural ecosystem, “Modern Intelligentsia” underwent an enormous change in awareness, forming a new image and pedigree.Having experienced the pain of transition in politics, culture and religion, “Modern Intelligentsia” lost themselves, walked into inane in wandering and trance, returned to reality in compromise and helplessness, and finally got newborn after difficulties and stick. In new Russian literature, which is represented by “The Underground, or a Hero of Our Time”, “Generation P”, “Hopeless escape”, “The Slynx” and so on, a growing pedigree for “Modern Intelligentsia” was formed, which was composed by “the new unnecessary people”, the sinker, the undergrounder and the warder.Mutation of religious thought and the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in the deterioration of Caucasus’ s problem. In the marco-context of the intensify of cultural conflict, “Modern Intelligentsia’s” ideology of Eschatology has been deepen into a powerful current that can annihilate the whole world, the Messianic thought is cleared up mercilessly. They don’t have objective condition of rescuing their motherland and home, and lose the faith and power of carrying the important mission of national promotion.Anti-Utopian thought. “Modern Intelligentsia” destroyed the country-Utopia of Holy Russia and Russian Empire by the rising impulse of deconstruction; the siege of information urges them to generate the anticipation, anxiety and warning to consumption age; and the religion-Utopia’s pipedream “Suffering will rescue the world” and “Beauty will rescue the world” will be dashed in the end.Ideology of Nihilism. The sharp subversion of politics and culture makes “Modern Intelligentsia” generate the tendency of historical Nihilism denying the history; this tendency of denying history further spread into the field of traditional culture, the ironic and jocosity to cultural celebrities and the classics totally showed their consciousness of cultural Nihilism; in the ecology of new culture, “Modern Intelligentsia” metaphysically thought “Who am I?”, “Where am I?” and so on, demonstrating the hesitation and uncertainty to the existence of themselves, which reflected the existence Nihilism from nothingness to vanity.Postmodern thinking. Cultural fracture caused the “Modern Intelligentsia’s” upsurge of the postmodern thinking. Their language contains deconstructionist thought of anti-logocentrism; their behaviors reflect some kind of game, confronted with authority and classics by using game and absurd, and uncompromisingly excavate different opinions; in the “life maze” of hopeless escape, they have no choice but to express passionate love by vicious hate, and rescue the life of a child in the name of killing him.
