Abstract: As a multi-ethnic country that straddles the Eurasian continent, Russia absorbs various ethnic groups in the process of cultural integration. Influenced by Byzantine, Western European and Eastern culture, Russian culture is unique and complex. While cherishing their cultural heritage, Russians are also imaginative and innovative when dealing with traditional culture, which has made valuable contributions to the world culture. This lecture will start with the formation of the Russian state, and provide an outline of how Russian cultural traditions were developed, and then introduce recent innovations in the fields of science and technology, literature, and art.
