Crescu\u021bi \u0219i educa\u021bi \u00eentr-un mediu \u00eembibat de ideologia comunist\u0103, rom\u00e2nii din Moldova de R\u0103s\u0103rit \u2013 Rom\u00e2nia de Est, teritoriu administrat ast\u0103zi ca Republica Moldova \u2013 au tr\u0103it zeci de ani \u00eentr-un sistem care a cultivat suspiciunea \u0219i ostilitatea fa\u021b\u0103 de spiritul liber, manifestat de elitele culturale.<\/p>\n
\u00cen \u0219coli \u0219i universit\u0103\u021bi, tinerii erau obliga\u021bi s\u0103 studieze operele \u201ecomplete\u201d ale lui Vladimir Ilici Lenin, s\u0103 memoreze citate \u0219i lozinci \u0219i s\u0103 accepte f\u0103r\u0103 drept de apel o teorie politic\u0103 ce dispre\u021buia elita intelectual\u0103 \u0219i glorifica \u201eclasa revolu\u021bionar\u0103\u201d \u2013 proletariatul.<\/p>\n
\u00cen logica materialist\u0103 a revolu\u021biei, intelectualul era privit ca un du\u0219man al poporului, suspect de individualism \u0219i de g\u00e2ndire critic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mul\u021bi dintre cei din genera\u021bia mea au crescut ascult\u00e2nd povestiri sumbre despre soarta intelectualilor \u2013 nu doar din republicile sovietice, ci \u0219i din \u00eentregul lag\u0103r socialist.<\/p>\n
\u00cen Basarabia ocupat\u0103, drama a fost cu at\u00e2t mai mare cu c\u00e2t aceast\u0103 provincie fusese una dintre cele mai vii zone culturale ale Rom\u00e2niei interbelice.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 1940 \u0219i apoi dup\u0103 1944, elitele culturale, preo\u021be\u0219ti \u0219i politice au fost decapitate sistematic: unii intelectuali au fost executa\u021bi \u0219i arunca\u021bi \u00een gropi comune cu var nestins, al\u021bii deporta\u021bi \u00een Siberia sau Kazahstan, iar cei care au reu\u0219it s\u0103 treac\u0103 Prutul adesea au fost urm\u0103ri\u021bi \u0219i elimina\u021bi de structurile kgb-iste.<\/p>\n
Printre victime s-au num\u0103rat profesori, preo\u021bi, \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103tori, jurnali\u0219ti, scriitori \u0219i medici \u2013 de fapt,\u00a0 acea parte a societ\u0103\u021bii care d\u0103dea sens no\u021biunii de con\u0219tiin\u021b\u0103 na\u021bional\u0103.<\/p>\n
Basarabia a pierdut atunci nu doar oameni, ci \u0219i memoria unei elite morale care lega cultura de credin\u021b\u0103, educa\u021bia de demnitate, cunoa\u0219terea de iubirea de \u021bar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dar nici Rom\u00e2nia de dincoace de Prut nu a fost cru\u021bat\u0103. \u00cen Rom\u00e2nia Socialist\u0103, intelectuali, preo\u021bi, oameni de cultur\u0103 \u0219i studen\u021bi au cunoscut temni\u021bele comuniste: Aiud, Gherla, Pite\u0219ti, Sighet, R\u00e2mnicu S\u0103rat \u2013 laboratoare tragice de distrugere a demnit\u0103\u021bii umane.<\/p>\n
Acolo au fost \u00eenchi\u0219i \u0219i tortura\u021bi mari oameni de spirit, care ast\u0103zi ne amintesc c\u0103 adev\u0103rata noble\u021be a elitei rom\u00e2ne\u0219ti s-a n\u0103scut din suferin\u021b\u0103 \u0219i jertf\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen mod paradoxal, uneori adev\u0103rul se putea spune mai u\u0219or la Moscova dec\u00e2t la Chi\u0219in\u0103u, a\u0219a cum o arat\u0103 exemplul scriitorului Ion Dru\u021b\u0103, care a reu\u0219it s\u0103 strecoare printre r\u00e2nduri, \u00een opera\u00a0 sa, un mesaj de ad\u00e2nc\u0103 demnitate na\u021bional\u0103.<\/p>\n
La fel \u00een Rom\u00e2nia comunist\u0103, exilul a devenit pentru mul\u021bi o form\u0103 de supravie\u021buire spiritual\u0103. \u00cen Fran\u021ba, Emil Cioran, Eugen Ionesco sau Mircea Eliade au dus mai departe vocea culturii rom\u00e2ne\u0219ti, oferind lumii o imagine a unei Rom\u00e2nii vii, profunde, capabile de crea\u021bie universal\u0103. Eliade, \u201edescoperitorul drumului spre sine\u201d, cum frumos s-a spus, a devenit autorul celei mai importante sinteze despre istoria religiilor, ar\u0103t\u00e2nd lumii c\u0103 spiritul rom\u00e2nesc nu poate fi \u00eenchis \u00een grani\u021bele unei ideologii.<\/p>\n
Odat\u0103 cu perestroika \u0219i glasnostiul gorbaciovist, puterea cuv\u00e2ntului a \u00eenceput din nou s\u0103 rodeasc\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen Moldova de R\u0103s\u0103rit, mi\u0219carea de rena\u0219tere na\u021bional\u0103, declan\u0219at\u0103 \u00een anii \u201980, a fost purtat\u0103 de intelectuali, scriitori, profesori \u0219i arti\u0219ti \u2013 oameni care au \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 eliberarea politic\u0103 \u00eencepe prin eliberarea con\u0219tiin\u021bei. De la poezia lui Grigore Vieru, Dumitru Matcovschi, Leonida Lari,\u00a0 Ion Vatamanu,\u00a0 muzica lui Ion \u0219i Doina Aldea-Teodorovici, discursurile lui Nicolae Costin, Lidia Istrati, Nicolae Dabija, p\u00e2n\u0103 la lupta pentru alfabetul latin, totul a purtat semn\u0103tura unei elite spirituale care a \u0219tiut c\u0103 identitatea na\u021bional\u0103 nu se ap\u0103r\u0103 cu arme, ci cu lumin\u0103.<\/p>\n
Aceast\u0103 privire \u00eenapoi este necesar\u0103 pentru a \u00een\u021belege rolul elitelor \u00een epoca actual\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ast\u0103zi, intelectualii nu mai sunt persecuta\u021bi de dictaturi, dar se confrunt\u0103 cu alte pericole: uniformizarea cultural\u0103, manipularea informa\u021bional\u0103, superficialitatea mediatic\u0103, domina\u021bia tehnologiei\u2026<\/p>\n
Tr\u0103im \u00eentr-o lume a consumismului \u0219i a inteligen\u021bei artificiale, \u00een care tenta\u021bia de a \u00eenlocui g\u00e2ndirea cu algoritmul, iar cultura cu divertismentul, devine tot mai mare.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-un asemenea context, misiunea elitelor culturale este poate mai grea, dar \u0219i mai nobil\u0103 ca oric\u00e2nd:<\/p>\n
\u2013 s\u0103 apere adev\u0103rul;<\/p>\n
\u2013 s\u0103 p\u0103streze limba \u0219i memoria colectiv\u0103;<\/p>\n
\u2013 s\u0103 promoveze educa\u021bia \u0219i discern\u0103m\u00e2ntul;<\/p>\n
\u2013 s\u0103 redea sensul responsabilit\u0103\u021bii morale \u0219i frumuse\u021bii spiritului.<\/p>\n
Elitele nu trebuie s\u0103 fie simple voci ale trecutului, ci sem\u0103n\u0103tori de lumin\u0103, formatori de con\u0219tiin\u021b\u0103, p\u0103str\u0103tori ai verticalit\u0103\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Dar, totodat\u0103, se impune o \u00eentrebare: sunt oare to\u021bi cei care se revendic\u0103 drept \u201eelite\u201d cu adev\u0103rat purt\u0103tori ai acestei misiuni?<\/p>\n
Adev\u0103rata elit\u0103 nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 prin func\u021bii, diplome sau vizibilitate, ci prin curajul de a spune adev\u0103rul, prin coeren\u021ba dintre cuv\u00e2nt \u0219i fapt\u0103, prin slujirea binelui comun. C\u00e2nd elitele renun\u021b\u0103 la voca\u021bia lor moral\u0103, societatea r\u0103t\u0103ce\u0219te; c\u00e2nd ele r\u0103m\u00e2n fidele valorilor, poporul are busol\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ast\u0103zi, \u00eentr-o lume \u00een care grani\u021bele dintre real \u0219i virtual se estompeaz\u0103, adev\u0103rata provocare cultural\u0103 este s\u0103 p\u0103str\u0103m viu \u00een om\u00a0 spiritul, sensibilitatea, compasiunea.<\/p>\n
Adev\u0103ratele elite nu fug de lume, ci o \u00eenal\u021b\u0103; nu se separ\u0103 de oameni, ci \u00eei lumineaz\u0103; nu domin\u0103, ci inspir\u0103.<\/p>\n
De aceea, poate mai mult ca oric\u00e2nd, avem nevoie de elite care s\u0103 cread\u0103 \u00een destinul spiritual al na\u021biunii, s\u0103 transmit\u0103 mai departe flac\u0103ra con\u0219tiin\u021bei \u0219i s\u0103 aminteasc\u0103, prin cuv\u00e2nt \u0219i fapt\u0103, c\u0103 libertatea nu este un dat, ci o construc\u021bie zilnic\u0103.<\/p>\n
Numai a\u0219a vom putea trece prin toate provoc\u0103rile prezentului \u2013 digitale, ideologice sau morale \u2013 f\u0103r\u0103 a ne pierde esen\u021ba uman\u0103 \u0219i identitatea cultural\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 adev\u0103rata elit\u0103 cultural\u0103 este aceea care, \u00een orice epoc\u0103, r\u0103m\u00e2ne p\u0103zitor al luminii \u0219i al demnit\u0103\u021bii.<\/p>\n
