Russian-and-soviet style of thinking

It is a Russian style of thinking because it refers to many people who has Russian origin. It is a soviet style of thinking because it refers to other nations that used to be under the soviet influence.

1. Emotions but logics guide their arguments.

2. They use a "good-and-bad" dual scale in their arguments, no analysis.

3. Terms and definitions developed by western scientists and within western societies acquire different meanings in the Russian language but Russians hardly realize that.

4. All their arguments can be described being based on philosophical paradigm of idealism. Idealism is opposed to materialism. They define idealism and materialism in simple self-excluding statements. Idealism: mind is primary and materia is secondary; and vice versa for materialism: materia is primary and mind is secondary.

5. They make general conclusions based on single examples.

These are essential differences that cause misunderstandings between East and West. 

The same in Russian
