सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Russians often value 'individual style' as a way to stand out in a historically collective society. Complimenting someone's style is a high form of praise. The 'Stilyagi' subculture used Western style as a form of silent protest. Style was literally a matter of freedom. In cities like Moscow, 'style' is often associated with 'European quality' (evroremont) or 'high fashion.' Russian avant-garde style (like Malevich or Kandinsky) is a point of national pride and is often discussed using this phrase.
