influenced by slavic cultures and traditions, I have been surrounded by Russian forms of art my entire life. It is in the music I sing at Divine Liturgy, in the architecture of the church and the icons that decorate it, but the most prominent Russian art form I have been exposed to throughout my life is literature.

This is not untrue for the Russians who have had the largest country in the world for quite some time now.

In art, the Russian people immortalize their history through songs about their true inner power and endurance. Bands like Alisa, DDT, Gazmanov, and Arkona comment on the state of modern Russia in comparison to it's past, and while some bands idealize the inner Slavs of the Russian people, others glorify their endurance, and others still are accepting of the new lack of strength
