Fear, greed, gullibility, powerless indignation, cautious exposing, revealing of secondary persons ... Essay on the psychology of the modern Russial.


Since about 1991, the term "Russials" ["россияне"] has been actively used.

Who are these people, "Russials" ["россияне"]? What is their psychology, for example?

We do not pretend to write (in half an hour) such a work as "The Phenomenology of Spirit" or as "Psychology of the Unconscious".

But we are ready to write a short essay. Science moves forward with both huge leaps and small steps.

At
we found an interesting text written by a well-known journalistess on July 15, 2020 at 04:41.

Let's try to analyze the text step by step. And on the basis of such a step-by-step analysis, to determine the essential elements of the psychology of the modern "Russial" ["россиянина"].

So let's get started.


1. "I was sure that it was impossible to deceive me..."

Perhaps we have the right to state such a quality as conceit, as high self-esteem.


2. “I allegedly received a call from ... a bank immediately after I transferred money from one account to another. They said that there was an attempt to withdraw funds and, possibly, it was a fraud. "

At this point, fear is visible.


3. "Then they offered to insure all my accounts at the expense of the bank so that if in the future someone tries to withdraw my money again..., the bank will indemnify for this damage."

Maybe someone will see such a quality as greed.


4. “The SMS notifications they sent me during the conversation came from the Sberbank number - 900. Moreover, they came to the same chat as all the previous messages from the bank - notifications of charges and so on.
The conversation was very professional, there was a complete feeling that the operators were communicating according to the prescribed protocol, as it usually happens. That is, the author ... perfectly knows the system from the inside, in my opinion, there can be no doubts here. "

Habits of (stereotyped, algorithmic) thinking.


5. “I will note one more important point. Calls from scammers began to arrive exactly after I received a digital pass during quarantine on the portal mos . ru after identification through Sberbank ID. For some reason, all other methods of identification did not work. "

Forced obedience.


6. “Where did they get these skills? We will return to this issue later.
As a result, I named the code that came to me via SMS from number 900, and 48 thousand rubles were irretrievably debited. "

A powerless indignation.


7. “Maybe it would be worthwhile to engage directly in banking? If, as we can see, ... cannot ensure the safety of its clients and their funds. "

Exposing, revealing of a secondary actors.


Although we are not Georg Hegel and Carl Jung, in about half an hour we compiled and presented to the public a fragmentary psychological portrait, a brief description of the collective unconscious of the modern "Russial" [“россиянин”].

The modern "Russial" [“россиянин”], for example, has such qualities as:

(a) Conceit (high self-esteem),

(b) Fear,

(c) Greed,

(d) (standard) thinking habits,

(e) Forced obedience,

(f) Powerless indignation,

(g) Exposing, revealing (an attempt) of a secondary actors.


A summary. We got not the worst portrait of not the worst person. At the same time, it is obvious that the "Russial" [“россиянин”] has significant opportunities for a (self-)improvement ...

Let's make two more small comments:

(1) Let us express our sympathy for the author of the text, which became the subject of our analysis. Unpleasant situation...

(2) We are looking at ourselves with suspicion ... Are we all like that? ...

And what were the qualities, for example, of the Titans of the Renaissance, pioneers, explorers? Of outstanding personalities in business, military affairs ...? ...
