뜻
To reach one's goals.
문화적 배경
Success is often viewed through the lens of 'preodolenie' (overcoming). There is a cultural respect for those who achieve success despite having 'nothing' to start with. In the 90s, 'success' was often associated with 'new Russians' and quick wealth. Today, it has shifted toward tech entrepreneurs and self-made professionals. Classic literature often warns that 'achieving success' at the cost of one's soul leads to tragedy, a theme common in Dostoevsky's works. The phrase is used heavily in 'success stories' on platforms like VK and Instagram, often accompanied by the hashtag #успех.
Use with Adverbs

Case Alert!
Never say 'добиться успех'. The Genitive 'успеха' is mandatory. This is the #1 mistake for students.

Aspect Choice
Use 'добиваться' (imperfective) when you are talking about the struggle or the process. It makes you sound more like a native speaker who understands the effort involved.
Modesty
When talking about your own success, it's often better to say 'мне удалось' (I managed to) rather than 'я добился', as it sounds slightly more modest.
