Three Russian authors are where Russia contributed most to understanding of the human soul, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, the Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn. NOT in Psychology nor philosophy and  these writers surpassed all the shallow pseudo philosophy and pseudo-psycholgy of the West.

The reason is not just their understanding of the human soul but also their refusal to reduce man to a bundle of urges. The philosophical man--the combination of mind and body [no soul] never existed. The economic man--the rational economic agent never existed. The psychological man -the team engine who sublimates his sexual desire to produce alternative energy never exited. These are figments of the sick imaginations of Freud, Marx, and economic professors. 

No meta narrative can explain the human soul. The problem is the intellectuals who believe they know the right narrative and want to impose it on everyone else.
