Social Etiquette in Russia
Russians are very warm and hospitable people. They enjoy meeting new people and like to invite people to their homes for food and conversation. But there are a few things you should remember when you go to Russia.
When you meet a Russian person for the first time, you should shake hands with him/her. Be careful - some people have a very strong grip! Try to smile as you introduce yourself. When you greet people you know well, you should kiss them on both cheeks to say hello and goodbye. When talking to people in Russia, some topics are 'safer' than others. Suitable topics for small talk are TV programmes, pets, family or you can complain about public transport or the weather. But you should avoid talking about politics or Russian history, or you might miss the last bus/tram home!
When you visit Russian people in their homes, it is fine to arrive five or ten minutes late - do not arrive early as your host might not be ready to receive you! It is good manners to take some flowers with you, or a little gift to show your appreciation. Do not be surprised when your host asks you to take off your shoes at the door and hands you a pair of slippers to wear - make yourself comfortable and feel at home! And be prepared to eat a lot of food! The guest always gets more than anyone else!
