A brief history of Russian stress. Mirkin Ya.M.

In his new book, the famous economist and Columonist Yakov Mirkin considers the models of Russian collective and family behavior during wars, revolutions, reforms, repressions, and crises. What are the features of our psychology: how do we respond to risks and challenges for 300 years? What is the reaction to stress from the classic triad “Run, Fight, Fight” do we choose? What personal and family strategies can be used in Russia for economic growth and prosperity in the future?

A whole gallery of historical personalities - emperors, generals, politicians, scientists, and cultural figures will unfold before readers. The behavior of each of them is an example of a certain reaction to stress. This book is an interesting attempt to explain the history and modernity of Russia from the point of view of the psychology of the masses and leaders.
