Russia’s Cultural Identity
Central to modern Russia's identity is its "mission" to mediate between Eastern and Western influences. Russia’s unique relationship between Eastern and Western Europe has an early historical basis. Vikings from Sweden, called the Rus, played a central role in the formation of the first Russian state. Russia quickly took on a largely Slavic cultural identity. Mongol rule of medieval Russia isolated Russia from Europe, and laws and customs of the Turkic-speaking Tatars dominated. At the same time Sweden put pressure on Russia.
The process of acculturation had mixed effects on Russian cultural identity. Everything ‘Russian’ was demoted in favor of foreign influences. By the early 19th century some children of the upper classes spoke only French; Russian had become a foreign language to them. Today many "Russians" have several identities. If they belong to one of the many ethnic minorities whose first tongue is not Russian (some 100 different languages are spoken there), language may be the basis of their identity. Religious affiliation may furnish another identity. Profession, political ideology, and other facets of modern life may provide others.

Paraphrase
Russia’s cultural identity is based on its “mission” to balance influences of the East and West. There have been many eastern and western influences in Russia’s history. Swedish Vikings formed the first Russian State. During Medieval times, Mongols ruled from the east and Tartars ruled from the west.
Today this acculturation has had an effect on Russian cultural identity. Can you believe that some upper class students spoke only French? Russia was a foreign language.
