закаточная русская туша не терпит

[Schweppss]

Poshlost' is the Russian version of banality, with a characteristic national flavoring of metaphysics and high morality, and a peculiar conjunction of the sexual and the spiritual. This one word encompasses triviality, vulgarity, sexual promiscuity, and a lack of spirituality. The war against poshlost' is a cultural obsession of the Russian and Soviet intelligentsia from the 1860s to 1960s.
...
Sobornost, another untranslatable Russian word, referring to spiritual community (Boym 1994, p. 3) and thus opposed to an aspect of poshlost
