In general, yes we are more European country then Asian. But due our history and location we have very strong Asian influence. Look at Russian architecture for example. It's a mix of western and eastern architecture. And it's true for everything Russian. Russia is a mix of Europe and Asia. A unique culture and it's pretty cool. |
Did you ever notice, that Italian 16th cent cathedrals look much different from cathedrals in Germany in the same period?
So, if Russia is a mixture of Asia and Europe, then it'd be more precise to say, Russia is a mixture between Asia and France, Italy, Spain, England, Netherlands, Danmark, Sweden, Austria, Germany and several others.
B/c all these European cultures for themselves are more than just a mixture between other European cultures, I'd guess, there must be something 'original' in Russian culture, too.

I'm not an expert, but as for me the cathedrals of all these countries had many common with each other. If you look on Russian cathedrals, they are absolutely different from European (Catholic) cathedrals. For example the most famous Russian cathedral:

Of course our culture is original. We have our original arts, our more then a thousand years old original religion, our own alphabet, our own trditions, our own architecture, etc.

Russia is quite differnant to the rest of europe (I would do that Churchill quote, but cannot remenber it.) Russia has had occasional flowering of western contact , then a period of self-isolation by turning itself inward.
PS. The Reds did the same thing. Obvously more Russian than Communist.

Many may pick a flag that doesn't reflect the country they live in , just to be obstinate or to reflect some other ethnic pride - I live in the US but I am of Scots-Irish descent, hence the flag.
