Science became the cornerstone of the intelligentsia's ideological and political projects, either as an alternative to socialism, or more often as its nominal \u003ci\u003eraison d'être\u003c\/i\u003e. The Russian century may in fact be over, but the interrelation of the intelligentsia and science to form \"intelligentsia science\" proves enduring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael D.
