Myths ... their creation is the oldest property of the human mind. Some myths are born spontaneously, others are purposefully. Some are completely harmless, while others are an inexhaustible source of fear, hatred or contempt for entire nations ...
This book is a fascinating story of the most striking and tenacious myths about Russia and Russians. Where did they come from? Do they have a real historical basis? How are things with the same problems in the "civilized" West? And what makes us believe in frank inventions?
Perhaps, having comprehended his past, and finally getting rid of false ideas about ourselves, we will be able to understand who we are and where we are.
If I fall asleep and wake up in a hundred years, and they will ask me what is happening in Russia now, I will answer: They drink and steal.
