Russian Soul

[Daniel Rancour-Laferriere]

There are countless expressions, proverbs, anekdoty, etc. on the topic of "Russian soul," all treated in my books: The Slave Soul of Russia (1995), and Russian Nationalism (2000).  Both books were published in Russian as well as English (see items 11, 13, 15, and 17 at my web site - link given below - for complete bibliographic info as well as tables of contents).

With regards to the list,

Daniel R-L.

Russians sometimes (teasingly?) cite the expression in French: l'âme slave (and they even write it in Russian sometimes: ам слав or лям слав).

Загадочная русская душа is the expression that comes to my mind.
