Good litterature, good poetry, good booze, depression, ruthless but solid family, vatnik fatigue, faith, poverty and joblessness, sex with hot materialistic women, bad cars, a deep love for the motherland.
War sometimes, boredom often, jealousy always.

Russian culture is basically built on the idea that writing and art actually matter, not just as entertainment but as something dangerous. When you can’t openly talk politics, everything turns into subtext, symbolism, and “this is totally not about the government, bro.” That’s why Russian writers got obsessed with suffering, morality, and systems crushing people.

In the US in the 50s, sci-fi was like “hell yeah rockets, space empires, the future rules.” In the USSR, sci-fi was “okay but what if the future sucks and the system is still broken.” So instead of laser guns and alien babes, you got depressing planets, corrupt utopias, and questions like “is progress even good?” Sci-fi became the sneaky way to criticize power without getting disappeared.
Soviet sci-fi criticized the system by never naming it and never letting it win cleanly.
The Strugatsky brothers filled their stories with committees, mid-level officials, and “well-meaning” functionaries who turn ideals into paperwork and violence.
Authority is always justified, always rational, and always wrong in practice.
Heroes aren’t rebels overthrowing the system; they’re exhausted insiders slowly realizing the system eats ethics for fuel.
Utopias fail not because of enemies, but because incentives rot and responsibility dissolves upward.

This was dangerous because everyone knew what was being described, including the censors.
The result wasn’t usually prison, but bans, delayed publication, rewrites, careers stalled, books circulated hand-to-hand or published abroad years later.
The punishment was uncertainty: you were never told what line you crossed, only that you’d crossed one.
That’s the real critique baked into the genre — the future doesn’t need tyrants, it just needs obedient adults who refuse to notice what they’re part of.

Interesting fact - in 2020 when Navalny got poisoned by the fsb me and my friend went to a protest against putin and one of the guys in the ranks of the riot police who came out to surround the demonstration was one of our former classmates. My friend accidentally met him a couple weeks later and they had a very pleasant conversation and that classmate didn't really care that we were at the protest. He just joined the police because they offered some money to stand in line against the protesters, not for some political reasons.

>hate their own people?
Firstly, they don't consider some random sheep "their people." Basically, "our people" is a very strange concept, manipulated only by the Kremlin and its propagandists.
Secondly, they are simply corrupt and self-serving.
Few people know, but Putin is a criminal not only from the standpoint of international law, but also from the standpoint of Russian legislation.

There is none. Maybe there was some before 1917, but whatever it was, its gone. Meanwhile I would describe modern "Russian" culture as just fake-patriotism and loyalism.

Don't know what do u mean, but Solaris is literally the best movie about future, much better than any American "hell yeah" robocop o algo

That sounds soulful

Solaris is good but comparing that to robocop is unfair, 2001 Space Odyssey is of the same caliber.

Its not a war its a special military operation, whether you think the name is a meme or not its still not a war per russian law so you’re wrong. Stupid liberashka scum

it's all about anger, frustration and self-pity, enough that the russian will eventually lash out with extreme violence: against his family, society, God, and even himself. alcoholism, war, and revolutions can be traced to this basic predicament.
