Identity Unknown

Being the largest country in the world comes with its fair share of challenges. These pieces of propaganda demonstrate that our nation is at a cultural crossroad and there is no uniform Russian identity. Instead, the Russian "identity" is a collection of different origins, cultures, and social groups. It is important that we embrace our differences and our diversity. The purges and persecution of ethnic groups during Stalin's time in power (as depicted in the propaganda poster on the right) will never be tolerated again in Russia.
