russian proverbs

Russian proverbs give an insight an many aspects of Russian history, culture, national character. Russian language is replete with many hundreds of proverbs (пословица/poslov'itsa/) and sayings (поговоркa/pogovorka/). These were already tabulated by the seventeenth century, and collected and studied in the nineteenth and twentieth, with the folk-tales being an especially fertile source. Russian proverbs gained popularity in the West thanks to Ronald Reagan, who supposedly was a fan of Russian folklore. Russians have possibly thousands of proverbs.
