Great Russians who have changed the world

At all times, different peoples were proud of the successes of their compatriots. And Russia in this sense is no exception. Our country is spread out on one seventh part of the world, our history has always been closely related to the development of Western civilization, and the unique location between the East and the West gave rise to the special mentality that Tyutchev described in the famous lines: "The mind of Russia cannot be understood, not to measure the general with a common one" . Indeed, the fate of the Russian people who have become famous throughout the planet, those whose names are included in the list of world achievements in any field, whether science, culture, politics or sport are elusively similar to each other. On everything that our compatriots took on, as if lies an imprint of a special, "Russian" spirit. We can rightfully be proud of our people and their achievements. Kruzenshtern, Mendeleev, Chekhov, Stanislavsky, Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Gagarin, Makarov, Tereshkova, Kharlamov, Karpov and many others - all these people served their fatherland, entering their names on the pages of history
