The article comprehensively analyses the situation in which the educated strata of the urban population of Ukraine were during the Revolution and the civil war of 1917-1920. During the armed confrontation, the intelligentsia was between two hostile camps, and many of its members had difficulties with their final choice. The worsening of a financial position gradually led most of the categories of persons of mental work to a sharp reduction in social needs and expectations and as a result to the loss of social attributes of their group, both external and internal. Their political position often represents not a conscious decision on the basis of strong convictions, but series of random acts caused primarily by the task of physical survival. As a result, some of intelligentsia left the country, others agreed to cooperate with the winners, but the majority appeared in a state of "internal" emigration, keeping hope just to a transformation the Bolshevik regime.
