Russian

 

The Russian phrase "ТИШЕ ЕДЕШЬ - ДАЛЬШЕ БУДЕШЬ.." translates to English as:

"The slower you go - the further you'll get."

This is a Russian proverb, often interpreted as "Slow and steady wins the race."

The Russian proverb “Тише едешь — дальше будешь” literally means:

“The quieter (or slower) you ride, the farther you’ll get.”

👉 Its meaning:

• If you act carefully, calmly, and without rushing, you will achieve more in the long run.

• Similar to the English sayings “Slow and steady wins the race” or “Haste makes waste.”

— here’s a clear explanation of why Catholics and Orthodox separated in 1054, and their different views on Jesus and saints.

---

🕊️ Why Catholic & Orthodox Separated (The Great Schism of 1054)

The split happened mainly because of power and doctrine.

1. Authority of the Pope

• Catholic side: believed the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) was the supreme head of all Christianity.

• Orthodox side: said all bishops are equal; no one should rule over all churches.

This disagreement grew for centuries.

---

2. Filioque Controversy

The Western Church added “and the Son” to the Creed without agreement from the East.

Original Creed (Orthodox):

➤ The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father.

Catholic Creed:

➤ The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.

The East saw this as:

• Changing a sacred text without permission

• Incorrect theology

• An example of Western arrogance

---

3. Cultural & Language Differences

• East: Greek-speaking, influenced by the Byzantine Empire

• West: Latin-speaking, influenced by Rome

They developed different styles of worship, theology, and church organization.

---

4. Political Conflicts

The fall of the Western Roman Empire, the rise of the Byzantine Empire, and later the Crusades worsened the divide.
The Fourth Crusade (1204) attacked Constantinople, an Orthodox city — a wound that lasted centuries.

---

✨ Differences in Views on Jesus

Catholic and Orthodox both fully believe in:

• Jesus as Son of God

• Trinity

• His death and resurrection

• Virgin Birth

But their emphasis is slightly different.

Catholic

• Focus on legal sacrifice: Jesus died to “pay for sins” like a legal act.

• More influence from Augustine and Western philosophy.

Orthodox

• Focus on healing: Jesus came to heal human nature and restore mankind to God.

• More mystical and spiritual interpretation.

---

✨ Differences in Views on Saints

Catholic

• Saints can have official “canonization” by the Pope.

• Believe in Purgatory, so saints can help people through prayers for souls there.

• The Virgin Mary has special doctrines (Immaculate Conception, Assumption).

Orthodox

• Saints are recognized by the community and bishops, not centralized.

• No Purgatory: instead, they speak of a spiritual journey after death.

• The Virgin Mary is deeply honored but without the Western dogmas.

---

🌺 Summary

• The split came from differences in power, doctrine, and culture.

• Catholics emphasize authority and defined doctrine.

• Orthodox emphasize ancient tradition, mysticism, and equality among bishops.

---

⭐ Key Differences Between Orthodox and Catholic

1. Authority

Catholic

• The Pope in Rome has supreme authority over all Catholics.

• Catholics believe the Pope is infallible in certain teachings.

Orthodox

• No Pope.

• Each national church (Russian, Greek, Serbian, etc.) is self-governing.

• Decisions are made by councils of bishops, not one leader.

---

2. Theology

Catholic

• Has doctrines like Purgatory, Original Sin as defined by Augustine, and the Immaculate Conception of Mary.

Orthodox

• Does not believe in Purgatory the same way.

• Views Original Sin differently (less guilt-focused).

• Mary is honored but not believed to be born without sin like in Catholic dogma.

---

3. Holy Spirit Teaching (Filioque Clause)

This is the biggest theological issue.

Catholic Creed

Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son (“Filioque”).

Orthodox Creed

Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father only, as in the original early Christian text.

---

4. Worship Style (Liturgy)

Catholic

• More modern, shorter services in many places.

• Use of statues, modern music in some churches.

Orthodox

• Very ancient, long, mystical services.

• Heavy use of chanting, incense, and icons (painted images, not statues).

• No musical instruments—mostly vocal.

---

5. Clergy (Priests)

Catholic

• Priests must be celibate (cannot marry).

Orthodox

• Priests may marry if they marry before ordination.

• Bishops must remain celibate (usually from monks).

---

6. Eucharist (Holy Communion)

Catholic

• Uses unleavened bread (like wafers).

• Believe in transubstantiation.

Orthodox

• Uses leavened bread (soft, cube-shaped soaked in wine).

• Also believes in real presence but explains it differently (more mystical).

---

7. Organization

Catholic

• Centralized, hierarchical.

Orthodox

• Decentralized, independent churches united by shared faith.

---

💡 In One Sentence

Catholics have a Pope and more defined doctrines.
Orthodox focus on ancient tradition, mysticism, and have no single global leader.

---

 — most Russians are Eastern Orthodox Christian, specifically part of the Russian Orthodox Church.

A few details if you want them:

• Around 70–75% of ethnic Russians identify with Orthodoxy (culturally or religiously).

• The Russian Orthodox Church is one of the largest and oldest branches of Eastern Orthodoxy.

• It has a strong influence on Russian culture, holidays, traditions, and national identity.

— Orthodoxy is traditionally divided into Eastern and Western roots, but today almost all living Orthodox churches are Eastern.

However, there are “Western Orthodox” groups — but they are small and not mainstream.

✅ Eastern Orthodox (the large majority)

This includes:

• Russian Orthodox

• Greek Orthodox

• Serbian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Georgian, Antiochian, etc.

They follow:

• Byzantine tradition

• Eastern liturgy

• Eastern theology

This is what most people mean by “Orthodox.”

---

✅ Western Orthodox (very small, niche)

Western Orthodoxy is not common and exists only in small communities. Examples:

1. Western Rite Orthodox (within Eastern Orthodox jurisdictions)

These are groups under:

• The Antiochian Orthodox Church

• The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR)

They follow:

• A Western-style liturgy (inspired by old Catholic/Anglican rituals)

• While keeping Orthodox theology

They are still considered Eastern Orthodox, just using the “Western liturgical rite.”

2. The Celtic, Gallican, or Old Roman Western traditions

These existed in ancient Europe before the Great Schism of 1054, but they no longer exist as mainstream churches.

---

🌍 Is there a true “Western Orthodox Church”?

Not really.
There are Western-Rite Orthodox parishes, but no big Western Orthodox denomination like the Russian or Greek churches.

---

Summary

• Eastern Orthodox = the mainstream

• Western Orthodox = tiny, special liturgical communities inside Eastern Orthodoxy

TOPI RUSSIA 🪆 

Topi Rusia, seperti **ushanka**, bisa cocok untuk wajah bulat dan lebar, **asalkan memilih model yang tepat**. Beberapa tips agar tetap terlihat stylish:  

### **1. Pilih Model yang Proporsional**  

- **Hindari ushanka yang terlalu besar dan berbulu lebat**, karena bisa membuat wajah terlihat lebih bulat.  

- Pilih **ushanka dengan bagian telinga bisa dilipat ke atas**, sehingga tidak terlalu melebar di samping wajah.  

- Jika ingin gaya lain, **Russian Cossack hat** dengan bentuk lebih tinggi bisa membantu memberi kesan wajah lebih panjang.  

### **2. Warna yang Cocok untuk Kulit Cool Tone**  

- **Hitam, abu-abu, atau navy** bisa memberikan efek lebih ramping dan cocok dengan warna kulitmu yang cool tone.  

- Hindari warna **coklat kemerahan atau beige** yang bisa membuat kulit terlihat kusam.  

### **3. Gaya Pemakaian**  

- Pakai **sedikit miring atau lebih tinggi di kepala** untuk memberi ilusi wajah lebih panjang.  

- Jika memakai ushanka, biarkan **tali tetap terbuka** agar tidak menonjolkan lebar wajah.  

Kalau mau coba, kamu bisa cari model ushanka yang lebih ramping atau Russian Cossack hat yang lebih elegan. 

LINGKAR KEPALA 🎩 🔝 TOPI

Lingkar kepala normal untuk orang dewasa umumnya berkisar antara **53–61 cm**, dengan rata-rata sekitar **56–58 cm**.  

Untuk membeli topi Rusia (seperti ushanka), sebaiknya pilih ukuran yang sesuai dengan lingkar kepala Anda:  

- **S (Small):** 53–54 cm  

- **M (Medium):** 55–57 cm  ( saya 56 ke 57 cm )

- **L (Large):** 58–60 cm  

- **XL (Extra Large):** 61 cm ke atas  ( sua 62 cm )

Jika belum tahu ukuran lingkar kepala Anda, bisa diukur dengan pita pengukur di sekitar dahi, sekitar 1 cm di atas alis. Jika hasilnya di antara dua ukuran, lebih baik pilih yang lebih besar agar lebih nyaman.

WARNA ABU DOFF IS THE BEST 

Untukmu, yang terbaik adalah **abu tua agak doff** (nomor 1).  

Kenapa?  

✔ **Cocok dengan cool skin tone** – Warna doff lebih lembut dan tidak terlalu kontras di wajahmu, menjaga tampilan tetap elegan.  

✔ **Terlihat lebih klasik & versatile** – Tidak terlalu mencolok, cocok untuk berbagai outfit tanpa terlihat berlebihan.  

✔ **Tekstur lebih mewah & refined** – Jika terlalu mengkilap (nomor 2), bisa terlihat terlalu flashy. Jika berbulu panjang (nomor 3), bisa terlihat lebih bulky dan kurang sleek.  

Jadi, **abu tua agak doff** adalah pilihan paling aman dan stylish untukmu!

To say "Have a great day" in Russian, you can say:

✅ Хорошего дня!

Pronunciation: Kha-RO-she-va dnya
Meaning: "Have a good day!"

Or more enthusiastically:

✅ Отличного дня!
Pronunciation: At-LEECH-na-va dnya
Meaning: "Have an excellent day!"

Both are polite and commonly used.
You can say them to friends, colleagues, or even strangers.
