Russian Mentality vs European Mentality

 It is not a new thought,  but Russian mentality is devoid of structure, logics,  and organizational  order. Instead, people communicate by emotions. Attention to the tone of the voice and inflections  of grammatical structures of our beautiful language  is very important for us, Russians to understand each other. All the information is conveyed through the  delicate balance of cries and whispers.  The actual logical  content that encapsulates those is irrelevant.  There is no logics in Russian heads, from the peasants to the ruling class and therefore there is no law, in the European sense.

 The history of Russia on 18--20th centuries can be interpreted as the attempt of Russian Monarchy which was partially European to (unsuccessfully) control the Russian beast.

This is why Russian poetry and music is so great.

This is why Russian philosophy is the half-religion and half anarchy and is of a less significance to the rest of the world.

 This is why Russian science of 19-21 centuries  (mathematics, physics, chemistry), despite the major contributions in the past,  is completely foreign to the Russian soul   and will be exterminated or will die out by itself--- as its connection to the military superiority of the country  becomes progressively irrelevant.
