Some info on Russia a day, keeps doctor away.

About Part 5.
This one is important to understand. Russia is a particularistic society, meaning personal relations have more importance than rules, and individuals are valued for their unique personal importance.
It's quite different from where I'm from, where rules are often above personal relations. Russians will not call a bylaw enforcement if their neighbor with whom they have a good relationship decides to park a commercial boat on the property. Their relationship is above the rules.
Russians have a cultural tendency to trust anyone they know on the basis of familiarity. Meanwhile, they may show limited trust towards strangers until they have formed a personal relationship. This means Russians often have a strong compulsion to try and form personal relationships with strangers in order to build familiarity and, thus, trust in any social environment – be it private or professional.
Here, in Northern America, we tend to keep some distance, and see this compulsion as pushy. This is why most Russians don't trust Westerners.
Showing camaraderie and willingness to bend the rules for someone builds trust and solidifies friendships. It's thought that being too cold and conscientious or too law-abiding (by sacrificing friendship) is like having no human touch at all.

** It's easy to fall into the trap of generalization. Thus, I would like to emphasize that I am covering the dominant society.

People lay flowers at the Freedom Monument in Riga.

Democracy in the Baltic Republic is commemorated with bouquets with black ribbons.

A march in defense of monuments to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War was supposed to take place today, but the authorities of the Latvian capital banned it.

Earlier, the country's parliament ordered the Riga authorities to demolish the monument in honor of the liberators of Riga from Nazism by November 15.

There's enough grains stored in Ukraine to put the world's food shortage to bed. But to get Russians to break their naval blockade in the Black Sea and allow ports like Odessa to export those grains, there will have to be an understanding about the 'sanctions'. Come to think of it, it would be a win-win for the world, since the sanctions are hurting the US and EU even more than they are hurting Russia.

Hello everybody, strap in, we're going in hot!

"The former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski once said that without Ukraine, Russia would cease to be an empire. It’s a pithy statement, but it’s not true. Even if Vladimir Putin fails to wrest back Ukraine, his country will remain a haphazard amalgamation of regions and nations with hugely varied histories, cultures, and languages. The Kremlin will continue ruling over colonial holdings in places including Chechnya, Tatarstan, Siberia, and the Arctic."

This is the Atlantic, by the way.

If we think a bit, we will find the flaw that ruins the whole article: an assumption that Russia is the same type of Empires as the British Empire used to be, and the US is right now.

The difference, in a nutshell, is that Russia never regarded its 'colonies' as colonies per se. The British Empire was harvesting their colonies hard, taking everything and giving nothing (useful) in return, the same way the US acts now: they have colonized Europe, and now they are basically pushing them off the cliff so that they could later come down and feast off its corpse like they did when the Soviet Union fell.

Russia, on the other hand, incorporates the territories it attached. The population of the territories becomes Russian as a super-nation; the local culture is incorporated into the underlying Russian super-culture, but nobody strips the local population off their culture, nobody pushes them into reservations.

It seems, actually, that the collective West, which, collectively, is highly imperialistic (look at the former empires: Britain, Sweden, Spain, France, Germany, Austria), is simply afraid of Russia because they do not understand it.

There's nothing simpler. Live, and let live. That's all Russia ever asked.

“According to a report by the Center for Energy and Clean Air Research, EU fossil fuel imports generated $47 billion in the two months following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, doubling the figure for the same period in 2021. And some of Europe's biggest energy companies have begun the process of opening new accounts with Gazprombank to keep gas supplies going, despite EU officials' insistence that such a move runs counter to sanctions against Russia."
