The author believes that the origins of the Russian showing off and capering can be found in history. This phenomenon has especially intensified in the difficult post-Soviet times due to fear and uncertainty of the Russians in themselves and in their future. David McFadden, a professor at the University of London, wrote a book at the intersection of history, psychology, linguistics, and comparative cultural studies.
