One of the major characteristics of the Russian people is "The Russian Soul". Russian people have more penetrating, all-encompassing concept of "the soul" than most other nations.We can say: "You are a person with a kind of soul". This means you are a good person. We can also say: "You have nothing in your soul". This means a person with poor personality characteristics. You can find many examples of "Russian soul" in Russian literacy written by famous Russian writers such as Gogol, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. From Nikolay Gogol's satiric masterpiece "Dead Souls" you can find that soul is a synonym for person. The soul is the key to a person's identity and behaviour. "Her soul is wide open, as open a book" we say about some one who is honest and sincere.
