Attempts to separate Russia from Europe according to different civilizations look superficial and devoid of real experience. I lived and worked in France, Italy and Germany for several years, traveled quite a few countries and cities, I know two European languages. And I am absolutely sure of our kinship and cultural affinity. Talk about a special Russian way is idle chatter - everyone has a special. Believe me, the Spaniards and the Belgians are just as well aware of it. How can we be from different civilizations when we grew up on the same myths? Do we have similar systems of law, religious beliefs, traditional systems of morality and understanding of the good/virtues? Both our and Western algorithms for systematizing and preserving knowledge were forged in Ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages, we have one system of schools and universities. We also played the Great Game, perfectly adopted and continue to adopt practices and ideas from each other. We have one approach to science and our societies are “sick” with the same diseases. Ours, fortunately, is a little less, and this gives us a chance to recover ourselves and save our neighbors. After all, indiscriminately, following the lead of the moment, pushing away the Europeans, we: a) push potential allies (in the future) into the hands of the United States and give them the opportunity to constantly harm us with the wrong hands; b) act like Ukraine, which denies its own origin, the results of which are obvious. It is important to remember that Europe is not gay parades and gender studies, but much, much more. Just as Kyiv is the mother of Russian cities and must return to their homeland, so Athens (already in the ideological sense) is the source of the Russian open space and must be fought for.
