WP:N This appears to be a term invented by Solzhenitsyn meaning "pseudo-intelligentsia"; insufficient evidence that this term is really used in English.

Keep. Seems like a valuable addition to our list of articles relating to
social class and
intelligentsia specifically. Also well referenced.

Comment Thanks for the responses. I am persuaded that "delete" is probably not the right thing to happen. But I wonder whether this is really best as an independent article, or could be included as a section within "Intelligentsia", of course with a redirect as well? It seems to me that otherwise the number of people who will realistically read this is vanishingly small.

Well, I know quite a few articles with vanishingly small readers (in fact, I wrote several hundred of them myself :-). The page is wikilinked from "intelligentsia" (and from some other pages), so readability is not an issue. The concepts are pretty much separate, and
WP:NOTPAPER rule allows them to have their own life. The goal of wikipedia is to make information searchable and available, rather than to push it down readers' throats, so the number of readers is not an issue beyond various wiki pissing contests ("most visited page", editcountitis, etc.). - Altenmann
