Regarding the discussion raised in the chat group today: 🔻A language is an integral part of mentality; it cannot be neutral and separated from the culture, history, way of thinking, worldview, and values of the people for whom it is native. 🔻When you begin to learn a foreign language, you begin to understand how a person for whom that language is native thinks. Perhaps that is why a huge number of people worldwide want to read Dostoevsky and Tolstoy in the original. 🔻Esperanto, without attachment to a nationality or people, can be neutral but not Russian. 🔻The Russian language is the untranslatable Pushkin and the boundless expanses of Russia - the largest country in the world. Russian is the selflessness of the Russian people, resisting any enemy. Russian is mercy and compassion for loved ones and humanity even towards enemies. Russian is our faith in God and in justice. It is at last our Russian, enigmatic soul. 🔻And to learn the Russian language without being interested in other aspects of the Russian people, such as culture, art, history, and politics, is like simply learning the letters of the alphabet separately and having no desire to learn to read words. 🔻Therefore, you will not find a neutral position towards Russia on this channel.
