Russia is ahead of the US in spiritual development, said the chairman of the Federation Council commission for the protection of state sovereignty and prevention of interference in internal affairs Andrei Klimov on the air of the Rossiya 24 television channel,.

"We are civilized people. When the US appeared, we already had the Bolshoi Theater, as you know. They are still learning life. They are, you know, savages with an atomic bomb. And this is not just to get used to, but to keep in mind, "he said..

Klimov noted that Americans are savages primarily in the spiritual sphere.

"They have the same golden dream - is to earn a million and become president. Everything else to their spiritual world does not belong. I'll get well, get a million, "he concluded..

The history of the Bolshoi Theater in Russia was accepted from 1776, when the provincial public prosecutor Prince Pyotr Urusov began the construction of a theater on Petrovka Street. The theater of Urusov burned before the opening, and the Prince handed over the case to the English entrepreneur Michael Meddocs, under the direction of which, by the design of the architect Christian Rozberga, by 1789, the Bolshoi Petrovsky Theater.

The United States was formed in 1776 when 13 British colonies declared independence.

In 1787, the US Constitution was adopted, and in 1791 - the Bill of Rights, which significantly limited the powers of the government in respect of citizens. In the 1860s, after the war between the slave-owning southern and industrial northern states in the United States, slavery was everywhere banned.

In the Russian Empire, serf peasants were in personal slavery with the landowners until 1861, when serfdom was abolished by the tsar's manifesto.
