The formation of the Russian national character is the result of many factors’ joint action, but the deep influence on the value of national concept and the attitude system of the whole society (the influence of national character formation)is the most fundamental. "The third Rome" theory and "messiah" concept soaked in the Russian's consciousness, which made the national strong"salvation"mission sense, and then turned into the sense of big-country ideal and strong nationalism. The characteristics of the Russian Orthodox church and the Russian village system, the Orthodox’s dependence on imperial power, the consistent of the Orthodox doctrine and Russian intellectual elite spirit, became the root of the Russian national characters which conclude humane, compassionate, believe in collectivism, worship of power, extremes, etc.%俄罗斯民族性格的形成是多种因素共同作用的结果，但宗教因素对民族的价值观念和整个社会的态度体系的深层影响也即民族性格形成的影响却是最为根本的。“第三罗马”论与“弥赛亚”观浸透于俄罗斯人的意识之中，铸就了其民族强烈的“救世”使命感，进而演变为大国主义以及强烈的民族主义。俄罗斯东正教特点与俄罗斯村社制度、习俗的契合，东正教对皇权的依附关系，俄国知识精英精神与东正教教义的一致，成为俄罗斯民族性格中悲天悯人、富有同情心，信奉集体主义，崇拜强权，爱走极端等特征的根源。
