Why does Russia seemingly lack so much culture historically as

no warm water ports

>>2586298
Loaded question. It doesn't.

>neighbors are Europe and China

who are you kidding

Much like China, Russia committed cultural suicide during the Communist Revolution (that sadly wasn't REAL communism and so was a giant fucking waste of everything lol)

You can have culture or try communism. Pick one

It was just simply never that rich.

>>2586298

Because Russians essentially are spawns of the Serbs

Culture is mainly created by the middle class. Russia's middle class was just starting to grow when communism fucked everything in the ass.

Others agree

Oh but that wasn't actually communism. Of it had been real communism it would have succeeded.

My liberal arts professor told us that last week in our Toxic Masculinity in STEM course

Russia is in Europe, you oriental monkey.
Also how are Dostoyesvsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Gogol, Chekhov, Nabokov, Gorky, Bulgarkov.... not culture?
How is this sport dancing gymnastics thing that Russians have 100 names and disciplines for, and that they are consistently the best at, not culture?
Film techniques like Chekhov's Gun or Kuleshov Effect, composers like Borodin, Tchaikovsky, etc. Basically 100% of the "socialist" USSR culture, social realism and so on.

You are simply an uncultured swine.

Russian athletes always cheat and bring shame to sports

>>2586332
How do you "cheat" at ballet or rhythmic gymnastics?
Also everyone cheats, some people just get caught more often, since they haven't the money for the good stuff.

no warm water ports = industry is lower on the production chain = smaller middle class

I'm pretty sure ukraine and latvia can not rival that

The medieval to early modern period saw a growth of the European middle class —and works of culture proliferated as the feudal system gave way to something more recognizably modern. The great Russian writers (Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, etc.) were mostly from middle class backgrounds/lower nobility. Bolshevism and then Stalinism imposed worse censorship on artistic expression than what existed even during Tsarist times, which was already bad enough. Soviet communism ended up stabilizing after Stalin and actually allowing a large middle class to emerge, but that stability, of course, only lasted for about 4 decades.

Don't forget to mention how they never explored space while you're at it Hans. Still butthurt they raped you and turned you into a mongol?

And what are some other great polish composers?
Russians have Chaikovsky, Prokofiev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, Musorgsky, Stravinsky and many others, poles don't really overshadow them with Chopin

Which single country has more "culture" than the entirety of Europe? What are you getting at here?

>>2586309
Plenty of transgressive artists flourished in the Soviet Union in spite of - or in direct retaliation to - state totalitarianism. Read some Solzhenitsyn you fuck.

And don't even get me started on the Futurist and Suprematist movemements of the pre-Stalin years.
