Russian’s Soul is Russian Truth

“Russia can’t be understood with mind”-this line from Fyodor Tyutchev’s poem have become more than a mere aphorism to the Russians. After this line being composed, Russians gained kind of a spiritual creed that explains their destiny and the life of every single Russian.

Since long ago Russians have had a foreboding that Russia is destined for something great, that Russia is a totally unique country. The whole world recognizes the Russian Empire as on of the strongest powers that plays a prominent role in the international political arena.
