In 1932, Stalin 's government took control of the arts and published a decree entitled “Reorganization of Literary and Art Institutions”. It stated that Socialist Realism was the only theory and method of artistic expression suitable to Soviet society…

How far do you agree that life for peasants was uniformly bleak during the period from 1855 to 1956? By 1956, the Russian peasantry had finally been liberated by Khrushchev as he had introduced passports and finally given them identification. This was a massive step from what peasant life was like in the 1850’s – where serfdom was the most dominant form of relation between the peasants and the nobility, meaning that peasants in Russia were bound under the rules and regulations of the higher…

The first revolution was really a street riot over food scarcity gone out of control. Pressure from the people and Duma, the…

Russian culture has always had a big impact on my life as a mixed, Russian/Black individual. And as most Russians will tell you, food is a huge part of their culture. I grew up with so many diverse food on my plate over the year and simply assumed that that was just what everyone ate until I started going to school and noticing other kids lunches, and they started to notice mine. But at the heart of my semi-Russian experience there are four foods that seem to best capture the ideal Russian…

They don’t take any accountability for what they have done, this just encourages them to do more. If…
