Here in Brazil, we have a lot of russian influence in our culture. There are about half a million brazilians of russian descent here in Brazil. Russian cuisine has had a lot of influence on brazilian cuisine - stroganoff is one of the most popular dishes here in Brazil. In fact, watching this video, i noticed something quite curious: there is a dish here in Brazil called "vinagrete" (which is like a salad or soup, something like that, made with chopped vegetables), being one of the most popular dishes in everyday brazilian cuisine - and you guys in Russia have a dish called "vinaigrette", which is very similar to the brazilian "vinagrette". Anyway, just a curiosity. We, the BRICS nations, need to think about the 21st century together. I really really love Russia, its culture and history.

[@DiscipleOfTheMostHigh]

@@sayeedhusseinsadat3284 - In terms of communism I agree, the feeling is mutual, we've had our nation ruled by it too and it has destroyed everything our forefathers built up till that point - Yugoslavia was our history's greatest mistake. However, although I sympathize with you, I don't share your view of the Soviet Union and Russia being the exact same thing. Russia was our ally long before the October Revolution while it was still a monarchy - the Tsardom of Russia - and during WW I our nation was brought near it's extinction from the map, with our army and people forced to retreat through the Albanian mountains heading for the coastline. None of the allies were interested in aiding their survival - only after the Russian Tsar threatened to pull Russia out of the war if our people did not receive assistance did the allies send ships to escort our people to safety on Corfu to recover and rebuild. If that moment played out differently, it would very likely have have been our nation's end and geopolitically split amongst our neighboring countries. That is a moment for which we are eternally grateful to Russia, though it doesn't mean we endorse the rise of the Soviet Union. Also, keep in mind that even after the October Revolution, a civil war broke out in Russia between the communist Bolsheviks and what was called White Russia (not to be confused with Belarus), also known as ROA - Russian Liberation Army. Sadly they lost, and the communist regime oppressed and mercilessly dealt with anyone opposed to it, be it Russians or non-Russians alike, and yes ... sadly that included your people too. Keep in mind that Stalin himself wasn't even Russian, but Georgian ... communism doesn't care about nationality, culture or religion, it's a system where people are seen as nothing but a resource, and millions of Russians died horribly because of this idea - heck, St. Petersburg is literally built upon a graveyard. I am aware that the political system in Russia has remnants of the Soviet one lingering in it, which I'm in no support of, but we are fond of Russians as people, we share much of the same culture. But yeah, I do sympathize with your people suffering from communism - though honestly, mate, I don't think destroying Russia is gonna happen. Many have tried that and failed, you can't fight the Russians on their own soil, it's like a biological landmine for anyone not accustomed to it, and suffering from attrition like that is beyond what any force can take. Revenge is never a good thing to seek, mate ... it sows hatred and a never ending cycle of retaliation in blood.

It's a little more complicated than that - you're right, they were definitely Christian but they were primarily Arian Christians, as opposed to Orthodox Catholic, which is what Rome and the Eastern half was. Catholics in the West finally got the upper hand when a Germanic tribe called the Franks accepted Catholic Christianity and declared fealty to the Pope

[@aaronblygh4719]

Well a lot of people actually in Rome (particularly the Senate) still adhered to thier traditional polytheism. But they where definitely the minority by the time the west fell.

Julian the Apostate was the last pagan Emperor, but by the 5th century Christianity was the major religion.

It's interesting how Russia and Russia Jr. (Serbia) are similar: Orthodox Christianity, Cyrillic, flags, tradition.. Russia has Crimea problem, Serbia has Kosovo problem Russia has Belarus, Serbia has Montenegro Russia has Ukraine, Serbia has Croatia (the same relationship) Russia was once a leader in USSR, Serbia was once a leader in Yugoslavia In both Great wars they were on the same side and won Russia refused to give allowance for bombing of Serbia in 1999, Serbia refused to join the sanctions against Russia And many other things..

I only like when u said Serbia has Montenegro, wait are u saying what i think you're saying?

Russia has Crimea problem- у России в Крыму НЕТ проблем!!!!

[@lukacvetic2150]

Kosovo is serbia

[@rathersane]

If I recall correctly, Serbia got both the Cyrillic Alphabet and the Eastern Orthodoxy before Russia did. Thus I would reckon that Russia is Serbia Jr.

[@rathersane]

@luka cvetić Kosovo is Kosovo and Serbia is Serbia. I wish reconciliation and friendship between the two entities.

Their culture is not to be blamed!!!!

[@pafelek55]

Well... it actually is. It's culture of imperialism, constant invasions, threatening all of its neighbours and colonization. Did western countries do that in the past? Yes. But it's 2022 and Russia didn't change at all. Same mentality as in 1822

[@penguinshug151007]

@@pafelek55 I'd call it politics. I'd say that their politics should be condemned, but I wouldn't want to associate their beautiful culture with what the Kremlin has been doing right now. I'd want to neither justify the Kremlin nor spread hatred towards Russian culture and people. Thank you.

@@pafelek55 I guess all the people protesting the war in Russia are all just warmongering imperialists as well.
