I liked the Australian version, attacking power in combination with a good defensive idea correspond to the principle of tai chi, whereas the Russian one has only words.

But seriously, I do not really understand what this topic is about.

Just saying that someone must keep a people's cultural traditions alive.

 

We in the USA still have Texas even though Mexico is getting ready to take it back.

They need to stick with the polka.  Most are good at that.

Funny thread, but the thesis is wrong. In Russia, criminals are not the keepers of folk tradition, this is misconception. However, the following is true - in Russia criminals have their own "folk" tradition, in sense of "folk" meaning themes of the urban underclass and criminal underworld. And this "urban underclass" tradition is quite potent and popular in some segments of population.
