In the present article it is critically analyzed the following concepts
Biosphere, Technosphere, Concept Sphere, Semiosphere, Homosphere, Noosphere.
These concepts are offered as a meta-language for the cultural, social
processes description, as well as the political systems description. During the
analysis of such problems, it becomes very important to focus on discussion of
the role of the intellectual, «an intellectual host» who diagnoses the sick society,
authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. Besides, the article studies the ecological
consciousness on the example of the motif of cutting down of the New Year tree
in children's literature, published in the Soviet and post-Soviet textbooks. The
presence or absence of these motifs becomes an indicator of environmental
awareness, responsibility and its transfer to the next generation. The description
of this motif is also a reflection of the value component of the political «top»
(the USSR censorship) and intellectuals (authors, compilers, etc.) in the Soviet
age. The analysis of the empirical material showed that the motif of the cutting
down of the New Year tree is mostly suppressed in the textbooks
of the Soviet and post-Soviet era.
