who knows competently about the word history of the Russian term
"intelligentsiya" - by what semantic shifts and under which foreign language
influences the word (orignally stemming from Latin intelligentia) acquired
its actual meaning?
My personal favorite on the subject is M.L. Gasparov's "Intelligentsia i
revoliutsiia" in his Zapisi i vypiski. (Moscow: NLO, 2001), 84-95.
Besides being a great read, it has precisely the kind of philological
analysis you're looking for.
Cheers,
