Is Russian culture southern?

[Lavrentis]

Russians/Belorussians/Ukrainians are Orthodox, they were culturally influenced by Greeks, so yes, they are more ‘southern’ culturally compared to other northern and eastern Europeans. They are more lively, emotional, loud etc. But again, that’s compared to Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and Estonians.

This is also an interesting article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantinism

But from my Greek point of view, they’re still very different from Greeks and other southern Europeans.

I should also add that it’s a similar case with Poles and Catholicism. They are more ‘southern’ mentally and culturally compared to Swedes or Finns.

That’s just my opinion though.

Protestant Christianity is Judaized Latin Christianity and therefore more Southern than Orthodox Christianity.

You can always recognize western tourists in Russia because they are more lively, emotional, loud etc. than Russians.

It's actully true that drinking alcohol without the aim to get piss-drunk is a Southern cultural trait. So no wonder your Southern sensitivities got hurt

I often find that people who try to find mysterious reasons behind human behaviour are the same people who never did anything at all... By the time the Devil knocked on door and spake with rancorous voice, asking for His dues.

And yes it's all bullshit with a twist. Nevermind.
