to gain a good social status.
文化背景
The phrase is immortalized by Maxim Gorky's 'My Apprenticeship' (В людях). It represents the struggle of the lower classes in the late 19th century. During the Soviet period, 'выйти в люди' often meant getting a higher education and moving from a village to a city to work in a factory or office. Today, young people use it ironically when they finally leave their apartments after a long gaming session or remote work week. It is a common 'parental' idiom. Parents often feel they have fulfilled their duty if their children 'вышли в люди'.
