Why is Russia called a "fighting nation"?

Because Russian people really don’t distinguish any level, everyone feels particularly brave. Moreover, some aspects of transportation in Russia can make people feel a little weird. For example, when I traveled to Russia some time ago, I made a picture of Aeroflot. Generally, if the weather is rainy or bad, they will choose to cancel the flight, but Russian flights will never be canceled, no matter how bad they are. If the weather conditions are bad, you have to drive directly to your destination. That's why so many people say they are a fighting nation.
