Why Soviet? Once again, it's an association, not real dislike. Besides, Soviet people really liked the English and the Japanese.

I presented my own understanding of what Eurasia symbolizes. As a Eurasian. And the fact that someone has a negative attitude towards any nationality is a personal choice. It's pointless to talk about tolerance when, in reality, things are different.

Regarding the supposed slowness of the Balts – it's the same stereotype as the one about Russians being drunkards and Black people being lazy.

It's not even a stereotype, it's more like...an element of jokes. If they speak slowly in Russian now, it's more of a show...as if they don't know this foreign language. :smile06: But in their native language, they speak like machine gunners...

In general, there are very few purely Russian people these days; there have been too many inbreeding marriages with Tatars, Germans, and Balts.

I agree that there are few purely Russian people...but what does inbreeding have to do with it? This is actually a term used...um...how to put it more gently...to refer to inbreeding in humans.
And after the USSR, it would be strange if Russians didn't assimilate all those nations that were part of the country. Moreover, the infrastructure was developed not only in Moscow, so people moved to work/live in various republics...

I can give many examples of genocide of Eastern Europeans by Russians. There have been many excesses in the relationship between Russia and Europe, both from one side and the other.

When I was in Slovakia, I was interested in how Slovaks feel about Russians in light of the fact that the USSR introduced troops into Czechoslovakia in 1968. So, no one there considers Russians to be monsters. "It was the government, politics, and not the Russians themselves," that's how they expressed themselves.
The more civilized a country is, the less likely it is to blame any nation, even if they caused a lot of trouble in the past.

I proposed my own understanding of what Eurasia symbolizes. As a Eurasian. - For God's sake! I even put such a :smile20: smiley for you.
And the fact that someone has a negative attitude towards any nationality is a personal choice. - As far as I understand, is this a jab at me? I will reiterate: I have an attitude towards certain people based on their actions, but when a certain race is mentioned, everyone has certain associations, and they are not always positive. It is better to show that I treat everyone equally than to claim it, BUT DESPITE THE ASSOCIATIONS, IT SHOULDN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE TALKING TO A SPECIFIC PERSON.
Ecumenist - what kind of creature is that?
Inbreeding - I might be wrong, but I encountered this word in that context.
About Slovakia - yes, I am saying that listing all the grievances between Russia and Europe is pointless; there were excesses on both sides.

An ecumenist is a proponent of uniting religions. Because they all speak of God, and everyone has their own God. He doesn't care how you believe in him, as long as you believe. And even if you don't believe, he still loves you. I also don't have a very good attitude towards some nationalities.

Ecumenist - Interesting point of view. If you don't mind, we can discuss this in the neighboring thread.

Yes, yes, this all falls under "philosophy"... IMHO.

In the Middle Ages, the symbol of the Russians (at least, they fought under such banners) was the image of the Savior (for those who don't know - Christ). I also liked the option with the Orthodox cross. But it seems that the people don't have a symbol... 4-5 I'm simply indifferent to this.
