Are the majority of Russians burly commandos who consume a large quantity of vodka to keep warm in the Russian weather and dream about the day that the KGB and Stalin return? If you believe what you see in the movies, this could be the picture that comes to mind when thinking about Russia and their culture. Though if you are in pursuit of an accurate cultural awareness, there are many tools to help you reach this. Russia is a unique culture with different customs, language, politics, historical value, terrain, and weather. With its vast expanse …show more content…

    The usable land was mainly in the southwest of Russia. The eastern part which is called Siberia, is mostly frozen permanently (permafrost). Since the land was frozen, so too was the ocean around Russia. This meant that trade between Russia and other countries was impossible. All these downsides of the Russian agriculture affected the peasants and most of the population of the country.

    Historically, Russia has always been a country of perplexing dualities. The reality of Dual Russia, the separation of the official culture from that of the common people, persisted after the Revolution of 1917 and the Civil War. The Czarist Russia was at once modernized and backward: St. Petersburg and Moscow stood as the highly developed industrial centers of the country and two of the capitals of Europe, yet the overwhelming majority of the population were subsistent farms who lived on mir; French was the official language and the elites were highly literate, yet 82% of the populati...

  • Political and Economic Changes in Russia Since the Fall of the Soviet Union

    1344 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has undergone many changes. These changes were very profound and included the drastic restructuring of both the political structure and the economy. When the Russian people became dissatisfied with the communist system, they pushed for a regime change, which resulted in the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the introduction of a democratic system. Along with these political changes came the economic change from communism to a free market system. The new system and the old system, while initially seeming like they have many differences, are similar in the corruptness and oppression of the people. Because of this, the political and economic transitions from the old system of communism to the new democratic system in Russia have not been successful.

    Russia culture is very different from any other culture that I have ever read about. This is a country that is dominated by males. Males actually run the county of Russia. The men are so dominated that every Russian women dream is to be married and have a family with these men. Russia is known for its poor society. In the book Sakharov he mentions how he moved from one place to another. He first was in Moscow’s larger apartments with his family. In this apartment there were six families. With thin the six families they had to share the kitchen and the bathroom. Then he states that he moved into a very old house and in this old house there was a leaking ceiling. With in this house there were still six families that shared everything. (Sakharov 24-25)

    Since 1991, or the end of the Soviet-era, Russia’s population has decreased by nearly ten million people. It seems that more and more reasons to depopulate gloom over its inhabitants as the years continue. A once powerful country is now struggling to sustain itself because its own people have been forced to abandon it just to live a better life. For such a territorially large country, its population is similar to that of countries like Nigeria and Bangladesh. Depopulation is one of the biggest problems Russia is facing today mostly due to Russia’s unique transition from a communist regime to a federal republic that has sparked health care issues, political turmoil, poverty, spreading of disease, and economic

    The methods that Russia has used to deal with the break-away Republic of Chechnya has caught the eye of the world media, and not without good cause. This dynamic portion of the former Soviet Union is seen as a predecessor of things to come from other pieces of the dead communist giant. So many different peoples and cultures were pulled into the grasp of Russia for economic or tactical reasons. Now that Russia is waning in power, these peoples may chose to seize the opportunity to regain their independence, hundreds of years lost in some cases, and reestablish their own ethnic identity.

    Researching and understand the education, values, technology, political, economic environment, and social organization of Russia has better enabled an understanding of the way business is conducted and the overall feel of the country. Russia being previously being under communist rule has made them a more recent addition to the global business market. This makes it both challenging and exciting for other countries to do business with them. In recent times, Russia is one of the fastest growing economies and willing to change ways to better accommodate and keep up with Western societies.

  • Kazakh Culture: The Role Of Culture In The Man's Culture

    925 Words  | 2 Pages

    Culture is learned and shared human patterns or models for living. These patterns and models pervade all aspects of human social interaction. Culture is mankind's primary adaptive mechanism ( Damen 1987, 367 ). According to Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, the word “ culture ” is originally taken from the Latin word " colere," which means to tend to the earth and grow. It generally claimed that no culture is stable as change is an essential part of it. There are many factors that affect culture, such as economic, environmental, government policy decisions, technological developments and many others. As Kazakh culture takes its roots from very early times, it has gone through significant changes

    Technology as a whole was never Russia’s strongest asset. This means that some technological advances considered a “must-have” in the west are still ignored in this country. For example, the quality of agricultural machinery is almost at the pre-historic level. While at the same time the range of household technological supplies is greater and more advanced than in most European countries. It is only what is heeded prosperous to have, that is being developed and spent money on.

  • Reflection About Ukrainian Culture

    1168 Words  | 3 Pages

    Before I met a friend named Ivan Kovalenko from Ukraine in my high school soccer team in Wisconsin in 2008, all I knew about Ukraine was about its famous soccer player, Andriy Shevchenko. Among many soccer players, I found Shevchenko interested because not only of his excellent performance, but also of his unique last name. I asked Ivan about his last name mentioning Shevchenko and surprisingly the two unique last names were from same root, Ukraine. Since we were both interested in soccer and from other counties (Ukraine and South Korea), we became very close quickly. And when I went over to Ivan’s, his family and I were to introduce Ukrainian and Korean cultures to each other. Since I had never been exposed to Ukrainian culture, it was really interesting and that encouraged me to take this class this semester. Among many interesting Ukrainian cultures Ivan’s family told me such as its colorful traditional clothes Kozhukh, Ontusz, Sharovary, Vyshyvanka, and Ochipok, I must insist that I was impressed about the importance of Ukraine’s geography. It not only influenced Ukraine’s history but also had a great impact on its culture and education. If you take a look at a map, Ukraine is located in Europe, between Russia and Poland, between Western Europe and Asia. With this being said, Ukraine has been a ‘buffer state’ which is a country that defended Europe from invasions of the nomadic tribes in the Middle Ages and a place that was damaged the most in World War I since the majority of the battle were placed on its area. With a single map, we can already tell the importance of Ukraine’s geography. And we can find many more evidences that highlight the vital role of this geography. Therefore, I would like to discuss about the geographi...
