Russian people and the well-known saying

In fact, as he wrote NABerdyaev: "The soul of the Russian people a collective nature, and the soul of the European - the individual."And it is true.Remember the peasant communities, the Soviet Union, when people were almost violently tied to the team and turned inside out and presented to the public, even the most intimate and secret events of his personal life.It was, for example, is such a thing as a "friendly court."The main point of it is to make some moral evaluation of human behavior, even his personal, private life.Then many, probably, I would say, "none of my business, I know nothing" - but it was impossible.

Now we have the opposite: people help each other only at the border, crisis situations, when it is impossible not to help.The rest prefer to keep a low profile and go about their business.On the one hand, we can take this to representatives of our nation's public censure, but on the other hand, this increase in individualism is justified.First, because the speed of life leaves little time for other people's problems solution, with its to handle.Secondly, there is a possibility that if a person is fail-safe as a Kalashnikov rifle, it will simply be used whenever the opportunity.Therefore it is sometimes safer to say "none of my business, I know nothing" - and "pretend hose."And now is the time unexpected literary encounters.

Mikhail Zhvanetskiy

The saying, as we see, for all occasions."Hut" Zhvanetsky in style in this context is not appropriate.
