INTELLIGENCE AS A DELIBERATE BENEVOLENCE IN THE POETRY OF VASILY BORODIN
The terms «intelligentsia» and «intelligence» need to be separated. There is a professional (stratum of society with special knowledge in the field of culture, education, science and technology, mental workers) and ideological understanding of the intelligentsia. Intelligence is a property, and it is not necessarily characteristic of people who, by the nature of their occupation, the level of education they have received, are usually attributed to the intelligentsia, and vice versa - intelligence can be inherent in people of working and peasant professions. The development of shocking, narcissism in modern poetry pushed the intelligence of the lyrical character into the background. Intelligence necessarily includes an appeal to the Other, attention and care for him. The hero of Vasily Borodin's book, caring for 64 people and things, belittling himself and growing himself from «we» in dialogue with the Other, contemplating the brotherhood / sisterhood of phenomena and objects, is an intelligent person of our time. In Vasily Borodin's mind, the deliberate benevolence as a property of intelligence grows to a special category of intuitive insight, used «to characterize the relationship between a person and a person, aimed at the birth of another through oneself.
