Momtaz T

This article discusses to what extent the “West” has been successful in reshaping the Russian identity after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The article aims to acquaint the reader with various issues and challenges in dealing with the western effect on the Russian culture, such as the misunderstanding of the western culture by the Russian youth, and also how the recent relationship between Russia and the “West” has again changed the western impact on the formation of the culture and identity of the Russia’s recent generation.
