Résumé anglais Michel Heller, A first warning with a whip. The story of the expulsion in 1922 of the representatives of culture from the Soviet Union. The expulsion from Soviet Russia of an important group of thinkers, prominent representatives of Russian intelligentsia constituted in Summer 1922 an episode of the struggle of the Soviet state to implant conformism in the country. Famine which threatened some thirty million inhabitants of the Soviet territory, forced the government to accept for the first and last time the assistance of a community which demanded recognition. The permission granted to create a Pan-Russian Committee of assistance to the starving and the dissolution of this organization after five weeks are characteristic of the policy of the Soviet power towards those who endeavor to cooperate with it without, however, submitting completely to its will: make concessions when there is no other possibility, deny them when the necessity has passed, and retaliate for former tolerance. The expulsion of intelligentsia organized in 1922 by Lenin was an act of revenge of this type and a warning to those who remained.
