Kultureller Hintergrund
The phrase is a favorite of 19th-century authors like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy to show the inevitability of fate or moral reckoning. In Russian corporate culture, using this phrase can signal a 'no-excuses' attitude, focusing on results over obstacles. Russians often use this to express a stoic acceptance of things they cannot change, like the weather or bureaucracy. In political discourse, it's used to state a position that is non-negotiable while appearing to acknowledge other factors.
