Why is Russia called a "fighting nation?"

Russia straddles the Eurasian continent and is the largest country in the world. As a neighbor of China, Russia also has close contacts. Many Chinese on the border call Russia "Lao Maozi", and even more people call Russia a "fighting nation"! Why?

A combative nation

Russia’s aggressiveness can be traced back to its ancestors. In the late Middle Ages, Russia established the Grand Duchy of Moscow and gradually developed into an empire. From the 15th century, it began to expand to Asia. expansion. Under the leadership of successive tsars, the Russian Empire began to modernize and expand in the 18th century, becoming one of the European powers and plundering 5.88 million square kilometers of territory from the Qing Dynasty (China), including Outer Northeast, Sakhalin, and western Xinjiang .

Although the war has stopped, the reputation of being aggressive remains. I believe many people were impressed by the 2016 European Cup football match in France, not because of how exciting the game was, but because of the media reports of "200 Russian fans beating thousands of English fans". Although Putin condemned the beating incident afterwards, Putin went on to say: "But I really don't understand how 200 Russian fans can beat thousands of English fans."

A nation that loves to drink

Drinking is definitely a major hobby or addiction among Russians. No matter men, women, old or young, no matter where they are, you will see wine bottles in their hands. Russians are very good at drinking. This is a fact recognized by people who have been to Russia. What they drink is vodka, whiskey, brandy and wine with an alcohol content of over 40 degrees. Beer is not used as alcohol to entertain guests. Beer is just a daily drink. Russian President Vladimir Putin once boasted that he had “never been drunk in his life”!

There was once a joke: There was a Russian who was drinking with his buddy, and he passed out because he drank too much! The friend thought he was dead and sent him to the morgue, but the man woke up not long after. To celebrate coming back to life, I started drinking again!

However, a survey shows that Russia’s drunken death rate is the highest in the world! ! !

A nation not afraid of the cold

Russia has a vast territory, from the subtropical zone to the northern frigid zone. Siberia is in the coldest zone, and temperatures of more than 50 degrees below zero are normal. However, Russians do not pay attention to extreme weather for ordinary people. People have to soak in ice in the freezing cold, and they have to take their children with them!

A nation not afraid of death

We often find that international flights are always delayed due to weather conditions, but Aeroflot is never late. Even those who fly late will arrive early! The funniest thing is that DiCaprio once went on the Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about his experience of flying with Aeroflot. It was so hilarious! There was a widely circulated joke on the Internet: All Aeroflot pilots fly fighter jets?

Although Russia is an aggressive nation, it also has a warm side, such as Putin and his dog?
