12 traits of the Russian mentality, in which you recognize yourself
Site offers the reader a very interesting article. It Nikolai Kozlov, Doctor of Psychology, describes the features of the Russian mentality, which it is impossible not to know in ourselves and in the Nationals. In general, the mentality - this prevailing scheme, stereotypes and patterns of thinking. The Russians - not necessarily Russian. An individual can be proud of the fact that he "Cossack", "Bashkir" or "Jew" within Russia but outside of all Russians (past and present) is traditionally called (regardless of origin) Russian. To do this, there is reason: as a rule, they all have similarities in their mentality and behavior
.
Russians can be proud of, we have a great and strong country, we have talented people and deep literature, at the same time we do know, and their weaknesses. If we want to get better - we have to know their
. So, let's look at ourselves from the outside, namely, from a strictly scientific research. What the researchers note culture as the specific features of the Russian mentality?
< 1. Collegiality, the primacy of the general over the personal: "We are all his," we have all things in common, and "what people will say,» Collegiality turns the absence of the concept of privacy and the possibility of any neighbor's grandmother to intervene and give you all she thinks about. your clothes, manners and education of your children.
From the same opera, the concept of "public", "collective" absent in the West. "The opinion of the team," "not be separated from the collective", "what will people say?" - Collegiality in its purest form. On the other hand, will tell you, if you tag sticks, untied lace, splashed with torn pants or bag of groceries. And also - the lights blinked on the road to warn of traffic and save from the penalty
2.. The desire to live by the truth. The term "truth" is often found in ancient sources is rule of law, on the basis of which to judge (hence the expression "judge the law" or "judge in truth" that is objectively true). Sources codification - customary law, the prince's jurisprudence, as well as borrowed standards from reputable sources - above all the Holy Scriptures
. Outside of Russian culture often refers to the law-abiding, follow the rules of decency or religious precepts. In the eastern mentality about not speak the truth, in China it is important to live according to the precepts left by Confucius.
< 3. In the choice between reason and sense of selected Russian feeling. Sincerity and kindness in the Russian mentality "expediency" is almost synonymous with self-serving, selfish behavior and not in honor, as something "American". The average Russian man in the street is difficult to imagine that one can reasonably and consciously act not only for ourselves but for someone so selfless actions are identified with the action "from the heart", on the basis of feelings, without a head.
Russian - dislike of discipline and orderliness, life on the soul and mood changes of mood from peace, forgiveness and humility to the merciless revolt at the total destruction - and vice versa. P ENGLISH mentality lives rather in the female models: a feeling of softness, forgiveness, crying and reacting furiously to the consequences of such a life strategy
4.. Some negativity: the majority of Russians increasingly see themselves disadvantages rather than advantages of Abroad, if a person in the street accidentally touched another man, template reaction of almost any:. «Sorry», an apology and a smile. They brought up. It is sad that in Russia such templates - more negative, then you can hear "Well, you are, where you look?", And something more drastic. < The Russians are well aware that such a longing, despite the fact that this word can not be translated into other European languages. The streets are not made to smile at us, look at the faces of others, indecent meet and just start talking.
< 5. The smile in Russian communication is not a mandatory attribute of courtesy. In the West, the more smiling people, the more it shows courtesy. The traditional Russian communication priority - demand sincerity. His smile shows Russian private location to another person, which of course does not apply to everyone. Therefore, if a person is not smiling from the heart, it causes rejection.
You can ask for help - most likely help. OK to beg - and a cigarette, and money. < The man with a constantly good mood suspicious - either sick, or insincere Anyone who is generally friendly smiles to others -. If not a foreigner, of course, sycophant. Of course, insincere. He says, "Yes," agrees - hypocrite. Because frankly the Russian people do not necessarily agree, and argue. In general, the real sincerity - this is when the mat! It was then - a man believe
6!. Love to disputes. The Russian communication traditionally occupy an important place disputes. Russian man likes to argue on a variety of issues, both private and common. < Love to disputes on global, philosophical questions - prominent feature of Russian communicative behavior
. Russian man is often interested in the dispute, not as a means of finding the truth, but as a mental exercise as a form of emotional, sincere communication with each other. That is why the Russian communicative culture of arguing so often lose the thread of a dispute, easily moving away from the original theme.
It is absolutely uncharacteristic willingness to compromise or to what to give the other party save face. Uncompromising, conflict manifests itself very clearly: our man uncomfortable, if not dosporil could not prove their case. "How to put it as an English teacher: « Russian always argues for victory » On the other hand, the characteristic of" conflict-free ", rather, is a disapproving tone as" spineless, "" unprincipled »
<.. br> 7. Russian man lives by faith in the goodness, which once descended from heaven (or just above) on the long-suffering Russian land: "Welcome necessarily triumph over evil, but then, one day." However, his personal position - irresponsible: "We will bring truth to someone, but not me personally. I'll do anything I can not and will not do. " The main enemy of the Russian people for the past few centuries is considered the state in serve-punitive class.
< 8. The principle of "not put out». In the Russian mentality disdain for politics and democracy as a form of political structure in which the source and the power controller activity serves the people. Characterized by the belief that people really nowhere solve nothing and democracy - this is a lie and hypocrisy. At the same time, tolerance and habit of lying and hypocrisy of their power due to the belief that you can not otherwise.
< 9. The habit of theft, bribery and deception. The belief that stealing everywhere and everything, and honest way to earn a lot of money is not possible. The principle - "do not steal - not live." Alexander I of "In Russia, such a theft, I am afraid to go to the dentist - I will sit in a chair, jaw and steal ..." Dahl: "The Russian people are not afraid of the cross, and scared pestle»
. At the same time for the Russians is characterized by a protest related to punishment: punishment for minor violations - it is bad, such as petty, it is necessary - "Goodbye!", And when this backdrop, people get used to the laws are not respected and from minor violations are transferred to large - then the Russian people It will be a long sigh, until angry and ransacked.

< 11. Concern about the value of health is not a sport - it is strange, to hurt - well, but absolutely not allowed to throw the poor, including those considered to be morally unacceptable to leave those who do not care about their health, and as a result became in fact a helpless invalid . Women looking rich and successful, as well love to the needy and the sick. "How can he without me?" - Hence the co-dependence as a norm of life

According to statistics, Mail.ru and VTsIOM, help adults in popularity is on the fifth place after care for children, the elderly, animals and aid environmental issues. People more sorry for dogs than people, and of the people of a sense of compassion is more important to support non-viable children, and not adults, who could still live and work.
In comments to the article, someone agrees with a similar portrait of someone accuses the author of Russophobia. No, the author loves Russia, and believe in it, for many decades engaged in outreach and educational activities for their country. There are no enemies, and no need here to look for them, our challenge lies elsewhere: namely, to think, as we raise our country and raise children - our new citizens
