Culture at the heart of Communism

By Svetlana Kurukowa


Idioms are an integral part of each culture and society. From east to west and from north to south, special sorts of lingual expressions known as 'idiom ' have ruled the culture of many states. Let us take a simple example, the folks songs of any American state has got a special importance. Idioms can be any form of art, be it music, dance, plays or perhaps architecture. The special set of cultures is represented by idioms, and on account of it they're very important in shaping the culture of a country.

Russia, the enormous landscape of the east must get special mention when talking of culture, tradition and heritage. Being large in size, it can accommodate larger amount of diversity than other states can. One or two nations in the world are so culturally diverse like Russia. With the people living together with their cultures, Russians are one of the most culture conscious folks on the planet. Russian culture as well as its language has many special things about it. From the attention-grabbing ballet to the multi-dimensional cuisine, the country has a load to offer to the planet.

First let us talk of the famous ballet dance. Popular in the entire world, ballet dance is one of the best dance kinds of Eastern Europe. Many great celebrities have grown out of the popular dance form and have become world famous. During the times of USSR, Russia was a very conservative country; it looked like it had retired into a shell. During those days, ballet dance got more well-liked as artists started to move out of the nation and set up institution of the art in the West. Mainly dealing with the interplay of man with nature, this dance form incorporates a great aesthetic worth into it. It has earned respect as one of the greatest dance forms of the nation.

As debated above, idioms can be any sort of art, not just dance or music. In a greater sense, design is also a part of culture. Russian design is dissimilar from other countries of Europe. In fact , it has robust similarity to the design of only one nation, India. Both the countries have historic monuments that give a touch of Muslim architecture, mingled with indigenous architecture. The entire city of Moscow is dotted with special sorts of buildings, which are in reality characteristics of Russian art. From Saint Basil's Cathedral to Ivan the Great Bell Tower, each monument has a special touch to it.

As we wind up our discussion, we must take into account that ballet and monuments do not make Russia what it is today. It's the people who make a country. And, it's all thanks to the indomitable discipline of the Russians the great nation exists today. Otherwise, the story would've been different altogether.

We will be able to only hope the nation keeps up its culture in different forms like songs, dance and architecture and passed on to the next generations.
