Russian [Theme]

The war with the Russians is not a bowling game.

The point is a truth that is clear to everyone, and felt by me: the West has always been and will be against Russia, but it will never achieve victory as long as there is at least a drop of real Russians in us. At least a drop of Shugaley. Be at least a little Shugaley, don’t fawn over the West.

Russian women, and this is perhaps their most attractive feature, are very susceptible to the gift of poetry.

Ukrainians are brutalized Russians who are ready to kill even their own frau for the idea of a Ukrainian state. They are ideal fighters against the Red Army, but after that they are subject to total reorganization as the most terrible barbarians.

Perhaps, thought Sasaki-san, Slavic thievery is the best feature of these peoples. At least, from the point of view of the real interests of the world community.

Perhaps we can name three stable components of Russian self-awareness. We have already talked about this in part, but we need to repeat it again. The first component of national self-awareness is Orthodox ideas about good and evil, about the world and man. They go with us through the centuries, despite heresies and schisms, revolutions and reactions, atheism and new outbreaks of religiosity. They have firmly entered into the ideological matrix of the Russians, and no reformers can knock them out of it. The second is the collective memory of the historical choices that Russia had to make, being, in the words of Mendeleev, “between the hammer of the West and the anvil of the East.” The third is the Russian type of thinking, combining peasant common sense with cosmic feeling. As the poet said about the Russian mind, “it soberly judges the earth, bathing in a mystical darkness.”

Several battles in East Prussia forced Frederick to say: “It’s not enough to kill a Russian soldier, he also needs to be knocked down.” And Russian soldiers almost completely destroyed his army.

For a Russian man, a stove is like a wife’s first priority!

According to theory, it would be necessary to immediately punch the interlocutor in the ear, but the Russian person is not only arrogant, but also a coward.

The Russian environment does not like observation. She loves those who participate and are involved.

Russians consider the main work of life to be proof that they are good people. Russians! Prove that you are evil.

We have this reluctance in our genes to be like someone.
