🎬 Russian Cultural Code: Literature — an educational documentary
What is a Russian soul? This question has been pondered upon by the West for centuries. In today's world the mystery of the Russian soul — or the Russian cultural code as it is called in the digital age — still boggles the minds of foreigners.
In this film (developed by the School of Arina Sharapova, TV presenter, Deputy Chairman of the Public Chamber), the key to the Russian cultural code is understanding our literature and language.
Literature unites both scholars and science enthusiasts, people of a rational mindset. It reflects the spiritual essence of our nation, its historical heritage and values. By analysing contemporary Russian literature, one can see how authors respond to modern challenges and how they are reflected in their works.
👉 Watch the documentary to better understand the Russian cultural code.
