The Russian word "dusha", is most closely translated into English word soul. This word's widespread use and flexibility of its use in everyday speaking is one way in which the Russian Soul manifests itself. In Russia a person's soul or dusha is the key to a person's identity and behavior. It is almost impossible to rationalize what Russians themselves refer to as dusha (soul) 

This track gives you an overview of this concept and several phrases helping you understand how this concept is used in Russian language including the following:-
  • How are you (revisited) (a more sincere version)
  • I am well / unwell (with references to one’s soul)
  • You are my soul, you are my heart
  • Heartless / ruthless
  • fear, shock or fright
  • Hi, what’s new?
  • I feel uneasy
  • What happened?
  • Husband away on business trip to Iraq
  • Don’t worry, everything will be all right!
  • I hope so.
