What are the national cultural characteristics of Russia?

The Russian nation is a very special nation.

Of course, among all the nationalities in the world, each nationality shows a completely different mental outlook because of its natural environment and social development, but no nationality is as unique as the Russian nationality, and no nationality's spirit is as complicated as the Russian national spirit.

This is because the Russian nation not only has a vast territory across Eurasia, but also has a history of ups and downs, wandering between eastern and western civilizations, and a religion that plays a fundamental role in the origin and development of Russian culture.

This unique geographical environment and social and cultural background determines the unique psychological consciousness of the Russian nation and creates the "two sides" of the Russian national spirit.

Duality of Russian nation

The Russian nation is a naturally free nation, "unable and unwilling to establish order on its own land". Due to the forced intervention of oriental culture, a highly centralized feudal autocratic country was established.

Due to the cruel exploitation and oppression of this system and collectivism spirit, Russians generally show meekness and tameness.

However, Russians are irrational, often emotional and easy to go to extremes.

Duel is the product of this character.

/kloc-since the 0/9th century, a considerable number of Russian writers have embarked on an extreme road-duel because of temporary excitement.

Pushkin died in a duel, in which lermontov, herzen, Turgenev and Tolstoy all participated or came to the brink.

The radical reform policy in Yeltsin's era is a portrayal of Russians going to extremes. Seventy years ago, Russians poured infinite enthusiasm into socialism, and 70 years later, they completely abandoned socialism.

The radical expression of "destroy everything, break completely, thoroughly remould oneself" has plunged Russia into crisis again and led to a sharp decline in people's living standards.

Some scholars once thought that the impatience of Russians made it impossible for Russia to experience the brewing process and enjoy the benefits of slow and natural culture.
