Yes, it is Russian, not Russian. Despite some synonymy of these words, they are by no means identical. The main feature of Russian culture is that it forms a Russian citizen or a person of the world, but by no means a Russian person.

The algorithms of such a phenomenon as Russian culture are rooted in mass industrial culture, so it has very little to do with nationality, ethnicity and traditionalism.

The collapse of the USSR opened the gates for Western mass culture, which poured into the post-Soviet territory like a flurry. But it cannot be said that the Soviet masses experienced too much of a shock: the principles of the formation of mass culture have similar principles everywhere.

There is a mixture of two mass industrial cultures: Soviet and Western. Both are devoid of ethnicity, and both do not accept traditionalism, and both are ruled by the establishment.

The culmination of the formation of Russian culture is the Russian media "showbiz", magazine glamor and liberal mass media

The main tool for promoting Russian culture to the masses of Russians is television.

Now let's move on to the definition: what is Russian culture?

Russian culture- it mass Russian-speaking culture, which was formed as a result of the mixing of two cultural trends: Soviet and Western.

Popular culture does not carry a charge of uniqueness, therefore Russian culture exists separately from Russian.

The modern Russian is used to absorbing from TV and mass media random mixed kaleidoscope, which affects his perception of the world in two ways: at the same time teaching to consume it and forcing to produce it.

To make it clear to the reader, here are some simple examples:

• Russian culture:Bilibin, Nekrasov, fairy tales, epics, sayings, sayings, Nativity of Christ, Pushkin, Serov, Turgenev, Russian ballet, etc.

• Russian culture:Timati, Kirkorov, emo-goths, Satanists, Halloween, Bykov, Kadi, Sadulayev, twerk, Money. Sex. Radiculitis, etc.

Reader! Absorbing modern mass culture in the form of Russian culture, you are formed as a Russian, but you lose your unique ethnic roots. The choice, of course, is yours, but the ability to dose your cultural and informational consumption will obviously benefit you.

A bit of the theory of the mass man

Quotes from Labor IN AND. Samokhvalova "Mass man as a hero and consumer of mass culture"

The mass man is the reality of the modern information society

The general information field in modern society is a certain integral system of communication-entertainment-management, structured according to socially significant vectors reflecting the priority values of society, or rather, its management group.

It is significant that a characteristic feature of the spiritual atmospherein modern culture, which determines the type of flat modern perception and thinking, becomes an all-pervading humor.

A superficial glance not only fundamentally does not go into depth, noticing only visible incongruities or inconsistencies, but also cynically laughed at reality, which, nevertheless, is accepted by him as it is: in the end, a person who is satisfied with himself and with life remains with that reality, which he himself ridiculed and humiliated.

A mass person is a person who is artificially marginalized from the point of view of normal, traditional human values

Massification is the process of becoming a mass person, i.e.a qualitative characteristic of the procedure for "adjusting" the personality to the mass standard, when the thinking and consciousness of the individual adapt to the models that are not just prevailing among the masses, but are required by society.

The modern system of myths plays the role of an ideology adapted to modern mass thinking, which tries to convince people that the values imposed on them are "more correct" than life, and that the reflection of life is more real, more truthful than life itself.

The mass man is not the author of mass culture either: it is not he who creates it, but for him - others, those who set themselves the goal of controlling the masses and writing for them the "content" and the image of "their" life.

The preservation of the previous tendency towards a fatal discrepancy between the natural needs of the development of society and the human "material" for its implementation will mean either the hopelessness of the situation and the doom of the social organism, or the installation on a rigid intellectual stratification of society, overcoming its homogenization in given and controlled proportions and directions.

The mass man has a reduced capacity for reasoning, he is more impressed not by a reasoned and grounded analysis, but by an energetic, confident, albeit frivolously unsubstantiated statement: by subordinating the will, it removes from a person the need to make an independent decision, and, therefore, bear responsibility.

Mythsact as a kind simulacra: political myths - simulacra of political ideals, myths in art - simulacra of life, which is presented not through artistic thinking, but through a system of conditional social schemes pumped up by commercial energy.

A powerful stream of scattered, chaotic, disorganized information literally clogs up perception, depriving a person of the opportunity to normally think, compare, and analyze

The totality of information is constantly changing, transforming, making, as in a kaleidoscope, one or the other pattern. This aggregate field draws a person into itself, envelops, instills in him the necessary ideas, ideas, opinions.

The totality of governing myths creates space and sets the dominants for the formation of mass psychology, it not only instills a certain type of behavior, but also programs a certain type of thinking.

The modern information society acts as a society for the transition from industrialization to the creation of civilizations of special high technologies, allowingvirtually regardless of the real state of production and distribution of goods create a virtual social space through the formation of the desired type of consciousness and culture, which will help maintain the status quo.

Russians - the Russian language.
