Точка невозврата и предел человеческих сил в рассказе Георгия Демидова „Интеллектуал”
The point of no return and the limit of human strength in Georgy Demidov’s story „The Intellectual”

Summary/Abstract: In the figurative system of Demidov’s story, one of the key roles is played by armed guards, leading prisoners who barely move their legs to hard work. In the story one may find the names of famous historical and literary characters from different eras and people: Laue, Einstein, Balya and Cauchy, Hamlet and Horatio, Pushkin and Salieri. The drawn historical and spatial parallels do not look random. The authoritarian form of government and the monopoly of a few people to think for everyone, reminds the narrator of one-person dictatorships waging war with the intelligentsia.
