Why do people think that rough Russians can achieve so many artistic achievements?

For a long time, when it comes to the fighting nation Russia, everyone's impression is that it is vast and sparsely populated, and its annual economic GDP is only equivalent to that of Guangdong Province. Although Russia's economy is not good, its accomplishments in design, mathematics and art are all leveraged. Even Huawei will go to Russia to set up a mathematical research institute to absorb relevant talents. Russia has the widest territory in the world, spanning Eurasia, and the Slavs' genes have been merged with the Mongols' lineages, which is also the reason why the phrase "You will see Tatars under the scratches of Russia" came into being. In addition, Peter the Great established a tradition of respecting culture, art and technology for Russia, which made Russia successful.

It is not appropriate to use a metaphor, a person who was born with wealth and good weather, but suffered unfortunate family destruction, tasted the warmth of the world, but was unwilling to sink. Will a person with this experience be a simple lout? It is hard to imagine what splendid civilization a nation that is independent of the Pacific Ocean and eats and drinks by picking coconuts and fishing for marine fish every day can develop. Russia, a nation constantly threatened by national subjugation and extinction, is reborn every time. Russia, including St. Petersburg, has been bathed in the new trend of thought in Venice in the north, bringing hope and vitality to the vast Russia; There are countless rural areas scattered on the plains of eastern Europe, which are rooted in thick soil and provide nutrients and support for Russia. Eastern Europe has granaries with warm climate, while Siberia has vast wasteland as cold as knives. The conflicts and contradictions between war and peace, East and West, survival and death, and trendy and traditional are always inexhaustible sources of inspiration for artists.

Moreover, Russians' preference for art is national, just as our Han tradition is "respecting calligraphy". For example, the famous Shostakovich and his seventh symphony are set in the siege of Leningrad. Shostakovich temporarily recruited musicians from the folk to hold concerts when the band was all mixed together; The red army tried its best to ensure that the performance could go smoothly under the bullets; An ordinary soldier bought a ticket to attend this special concert. Of course, there is a lot of political propaganda, but the spirit behind it is shocking. Furong town has a famous saying: Live! Live like an animal! By contrast, when Wei Wei was teetering, he held concerts to boost morale.
