A view shared by many.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'collective' (коллектив) is very strong. Reaching an 'общее мнение' is often seen as a sign of a healthy group dynamic. In the past, 'общее мнение' was sometimes used to pressure individuals to conform. Today, it is used more neutrally. On platforms like Telegram and VK, 'общее мнение' is used to summarize the 'echo chamber' effect of certain channels. Russian business meetings can be long because people strive to reach a genuine 'общее мнение' before acting.
