Russia is considered a European country by various international events and international organizations, and Russia itself thinks so, howeverHowever, he is somewhat out of step with the mainstream countries of Europe, and even to a certain extent, it has been ostracized by other European countries, why is that?

Substituting Russia into history, you will find that this country is very similar to the Chu state in our Chinese history, they bothThe territory is large, the force value is strong, the location is relatively remote, and the culture is relativeLag. The first three are easier for everyone to understand, focusing on cultural backwardness.
After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty in about 1600 BC, the Shang kings of successive dynasties chased the Chu people and beat them all the wayJingchu area,For this reason, the culture of the Chu people started relatively late compared to the Central Plains countries.
It can be clearly found through the culture that has been unearthed todayThe living Xi habits and sacrificial customs of the Chu people are obviously different from those of the Central PlainsAnd today's Russian first appeared in the Song Dynasty in China, that is, during the dark medieval period, all the way to17th centuryPeter the Great announced that it would embrace Europe in its entirety, and the Russians began to gradually "civilize".

Napoleon was defeated from Moscow.
The tsar at that time ** everythingFranceCopied for the standard, including language, literature and art, etc., at that time** The upper class is all the same, if the nobles do not speak French, serious even can't find a wife. At this time, the Russian language was very confusing in terms of grammar and usage, and it was only applicable to the Russian people.
In 1812 Napoleon I was defeated from MoscowAs a result of this campaign, Russian national self-confidence was established, and the Russian language and Russian language were widely used in Russian literatureOne of the representative figures is Pushkin. In summaryThe state of Chu, like Russia, had a relatively late start in civilization
Compared with the more developed civilization of the Central Plains and Western Europe, Chu and Russia were labeled as uneducated. In addition, there is another important reason why today's Russia is incompatible with Western countries, and that is reflected in itReligious beliefs and socio-ideological aspects. Russia is Orthodox Christianity, which is what Western countries call heresy.

Vladimir I.
In 986, Vladimir I, the Grand Duke of Moscow, renounced his original faith and wanted to introduce a religion to the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the predecessor of Russia at the time. At that time, there were three religions participating in the bidding:Catholic, Islamic, Orthodox. At that time, Catholic priests were not allowed to marry, and Islam did not allow believers to drink alcohol.
The Orthodox Church saidNot only can our priests get married, but the faithful are also able to drink alcohol, and more importantly not fasting as much as their two religions. So after weighing the pros and cons, Vladimir chose Orthodoxy. This is a European joke, from which we can see.
In the eyes of Europeans, Russia and Chu are in the eyes of the Central Plains, it is exactly the same, bothIt's big, it can fight, and it's not cultured。Mr. Guo Moruo has been exquisite, inChu and Jing in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were not good wordsIt's all barbarian. Even the state of Qin, which was called "Xirong" at the time, called the state of Chu "Jingman".

Like Russia, the state of Chu also wanted to integrate into the big collective at that time, as early as theKing Wu of Zhou, King Cheng of Zhou, and King Kang of ZhouAt that time, the state of Chu entered the court several times to pay tribute, and as a resultZhou Tianzi blasted people out without even looking at itThis is also the reason why the state of Chu disobeys the Zhou royal family and dares to establish itself as the king: since you don't care about me, I will be on an equal footing with you.
It's the same with Russia, to this day there are Europeans who call Russia a "barbarian", andThe ancestors of Russia, the Slavs, were one of the three barbarian tribes of Europe. The other two are the Germanic ancestors of Germany and the Celts, the ancestors of Scotland. In additionRussia has a history of subordination to the Golden Horde, and there has been a great deal of integration with the Mongols
There are even many Russian systems that were developed and developed by the Mongols, so there is a saying in Europe called ".Split a Russian and you will find a Tatar”。Russia itself says "".Under the pot of the Russians you will find the shadow of the Tatars

Speaking of which, the reasons why Chu and Russia were not received areThe development of state ideology and civilization is not social,So much so that it was labeled as uneducated. Although these two countries are separated by thousands of years, the development distance can be said to be almost the sameI was excluded in the early stage and was not confident
The later civilization is self-contained, self-confident, and full of firepowerThe main reason for being out of step with mainstream countries isCultural differences。Besides, the two countries have a large land area, and they are confident and like to beat people, so it is difficult to pee in the same pot as other countries.
