Let's talk about Russia again

Although ordinary China people may hate Russia for historical reasons, even those who no longer like Russia must admit that Russia is awesome as a nation-state. Compared with the historical dynasties in China, it was probably the Daqin Empire, or an optimized version.

First, be brave, tenacious and tenacious.

This feature is world-famous. In order to open the sea passage to Europe, which is now St. Petersburg, Peter the Great waged a 20-year war with the Swedes, defeated hundreds of thousands of Swedish troops and established the new capital St. Petersburg.

18 12, Napoleon led 600,000 troops to invade Russia, and the result was a crushing defeat. He was driven out of Russia and lost most of his troops, which led to his later collapse. Napoleon said: He has never met such a tenacious army.

In the Second World War, the Soviet Union was besieged in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) for 900 days and nights, or in the defense of Moscow and Stalingrad, the indomitable fighting spirit of the Russians amazed the world.

Russians are careless about small things, but they are not confused about big things. Usually careless, careless, but at the critical moment, especially the important moment of the country's survival and development, they can come forward without hesitation and show their fearless spirit. This nation is very cohesive and will not be overwhelmed by other nations, but will overwhelm the enemy.

Historically, Russia is a country with strong military color, and they have produced world commanders such as Peter the Great, suvorov, Kutuzov and zhukov. Russia worships heroes, and one of the wedding ceremonies for young people is to lay flowers in front of a local hero monument. In St. Petersburg, couples of married young people can be seen in front of the bronze knight statue of Peter the Great almost every day.

Second, self-esteem is very strong.

Some people say that Russians are a people who don't like to admit their mistakes. When traveling to Russia, it can be found that although some young people worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries, on the whole, Russians do not worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries, let alone condescend, and even retain a little taste of chauvinism in big countries, so that English road signs are rarely seen in the streets (which is not very beneficial to tourism). But sometimes they are blindly proud and very stubborn.

Third, impatience

Russians like to drive fast and have no patience. The author once saw that when Clinton visited Russia, the cars of the Ministry of Internal Affairs galloped in the busiest current affairs street, at least 120 km. So some Russians say, "We Russians have patience for a while, but we lack patience for a long time."

Russians are always eager to solve problems. The whole nation has radical or extreme tendencies, so Soviet leaders have always made left-leaning mistakes in history. The impatience and impatience of Russians are related to their one-sided thinking, and they see things absolutely.

Fourth, strong civility and courtesy.

Russians are a very gentlemanly people, especially St Petersburg people. They can be seen in various occasions, such as going to the theater to watch programs, and both men and women are dressed neatly. China people who marry Russian girls are told to pay attention to gentlemanly manners when they go out. For example, during the 1998 financial crisis, when the Russian ruble depreciated by nearly half every day, the people waiting in line at the bank gate were still quiet and tidy, and no one cut in line. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I simply couldn't believe that a nation could still queue politely when my blood and sweat quickly turned into waste paper in the time I excluded. People's homes in St. Petersburg, even ordinary families, are decorated with cultural accomplishment. If you are impolite in the local area, you will be looked down upon.

Fifth, dealing with problems is more extreme.

Anyone who comes to Russia will know that at 12: 00 and 1, that is, when he goes to a small shop to buy things after work, he will be politely told that he is off work-this will be considered as a person with mental problems in China. What do you mean he is not a fool if he has money? But this is normal in Russia, because the concept of time is different. In train travel, Russians will share their wine and food with you, but in the parking lot, even if you leave your car for a minute or two, you will still charge 1 hour, which is meticulous.

The profound cultural connotation of intransitive verbs

Most Russians master more than two foreign languages, and can basically talk in fluent English except their mother tongue. The profound Russian cultural accumulation makes their interests elegant, and concerts and ballet are indispensable in their lives.

Seven. A very hygienic person

Anyone who has been to a Russian friend's house will be surprised at its neatness. Although some wooden houses or brick-concrete houses look old on the outside, it is really a world of difference to walk into the interior. Some layouts are rich and elegant, and some are full of national characteristics, but * * * is clean and tidy, silver tableware shines, wooden furniture reflects its true colors, and the wooden floor is spotless. I once saw a child and his family traveling and shopping in China, walking far away with leftovers in their hands.

To sum up, our friendly neighbor is a nation with high quality, and there are some things that we can't catch up with. This is not idolizing foreign things. What's more, Russia is also learning from us in some aspects, such as China's reform and development, such as China's diligence, intelligence and flexibility.
