This is an automatically translated description

People in Russia are very fond of talking about its identity, peculiarity, difference from others, and the originality of Russian culture. However, in reality, much of Russia's culture, from its name and state symbols to such everyday things as samovars and nesting dolls, is borrowed. What is Russian in Russia is only paprika and cabbage soup, and "sour patriotism" and immense arrogance. And behind the façade of ostentatious grandeur lies the true essence of the plagiarising country.

The book thoroughly and reasonably debunks the myth of Russia's identity and exclusivity, and tells about common misconceptions about "millennial Russian brands" that the Kremlin actively promotes around the world.

For a wide range of readers.
