There is a series of "Marriage Daily Life of the Fighting Nation" videos on site B that are very popular. The word "Fighting Nation" describes the people of Russia and is a kind of ridicule to them. Any insult or sarcasm. So how did this title come about, and why is it so popular?

In fact, we have to start with history. In the 17th century, Sweden was the third largest country in Europe. During its development, Sweden and Russia had conflicts of interest and war broke out. Russia defeated Sweden and took control of the Baltic Sea into its own hands. When the Ottoman Empire was at its most powerful, its territory spanned three continents: Asia, Europe, and Africa. But the Ottoman Empire eventually declined, and Russia took the opportunity to launch a war against it. Over the next 200 years, Russia's territory gradually expanded. Of course, the bravery and proficiency of the Russians in history cannot explain much. Nowadays, they have many hard-core real-life examples that particularly reflect their characteristics as a "fighting nation". Let's briefly introduce them below.

Russians like group fights. On YouTube, you can find tens of thousands of videos of Russian group fights. Whether in the park, in the fields, on the road, in the subway, on the playground, on the boat or even on the bed... You name it, Russians can get into a fight in groups there. Moreover, their group fights have a fixed pattern. Both parties are not allowed to carry weapons, and they line up in a dense formation with bare hands or even shirtless, and confront each other in an open field. Before the fight begins, both sides shout slogans. These slogans are rhetoric full of words such as "strength and honor" and "victory or death." The fight scene was no less than a fanatical religious ceremony. There are also a series of "friendly" rules for this kind of group fight: no hatred, no weapons, no hitting those who have fallen. Neither party is held accountable for the unexpected casualties that occur during a fight.

In addition to fighting within each other, Russians also often fight abroad. During the 2016 European Cup in France, the cause of the incident was that English football hooligans continued to provoke the fighting nation with words and rude actions during the game. They not only burned the Russian flag in the field, but also insulted them in the field after the game. The Russian fans could not bear the bullying of the British fans and launched a "counterattack" on the court. As a result, more than 200 Russian fans beat more than 1,000 British fans to a pulp. Later, Putin said at a press conference: "I don't even know how 200 of our people beat away more than a thousand British fans." ? There is nothing that cannot be solved by a bottle of vodka in Russia. If so, then two bottles or at most three bottles. As the national drink of Russia, vodka plays an important role in the hearts of the fighting nation. Russians have a long tradition of drinking, from the days of Imperial Russia to the Soviet Union and now. Russian men have not put down the wine bottles in their hands for thousands of years. A Soviet Red Army soldier once jokingly said: The Soviet Union relied on Katyusha rocket launchers and vodka to defeat Nazi Germany. ?

During the time when Brezhnev was in power in the former Soviet Union, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko once suggested to him a nationwide ban on alcohol. Comrade Brezhnev then said an immortal saying: ? You know, Andrey, the Russians can't do anything without this thing. ?A few years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev felt that alcohol was harming the Russian nation and ordered a complete ban on alcohol. From then on, they began to drink in different ways. They drink perfume, they drink body lotion, they drink window cleaner, they drink hairspray, they even drink antifreeze. Anything that contains alcohol is drunk, so I often see news about people being sent to the hospital after drinking body soap.

The deeds of Aeroflot have caused a lot of excitement. Although many of them are exaggerated, one thing is very real. The famous Leonardo DiCaprio went on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about his experience with Russian Airlines. As a result, the plane's engine exploded. He felt that he was about to die and go to heaven, but many Russian passengers on the plane were very calm. The female flight attendant came over and said: "I'm very sorry, we may have encountered a small problem." ?Little Lizi asked: ?What is the problem? ?The flight attendant replied: ?We lost an engine. ?Little Lizi quickly asked: ?How many engines do we have? ?There used to be two, but now there is only one. ?

The toughness of a race must be grasped from childhood. A traditional activity in some places in Russia involves throwing children into cold rivers without being able to wear clothes. In a kindergarten in Barnaul, Russia, with temperatures ranging from minus 10 to 30 degrees, the children’s physical fitness activity turned out to be the ice bucket challenge.

From this point of view, the title of Russia's "Fighting Nation" is indeed worthy of its name. We can’t help but laugh happily when we see these anecdotes, but we must also understand that the national identity of a country is continuously formed in the historical process, not only by the influence of the natural environment, but also by the leadership of generations of heroes. While lamenting the wildness of the Russian nation, we must also cherish our own Chinese nation. Now is a turning point in history. We must also take an active role, make a difference, and show the uniqueness of the Chinese nation with a history of five thousand years of civilization. Style.
