Taboo

Russians are particularly taboo on the number "13", thinking it is a symbol of danger and death. Instead, think "7" means happiness and success. Russians do not like black cats and believe that they do not bring good luck.

Russians consider mirrors to be sacred objects, and breaking a mirror means the destruction of the soul. But breaking cups, saucers, and plates means wealth and happiness. Therefore, at wedding banquets, birthday banquets, and other grand occasions, some dishes are deliberately broken to express celebration.

Etiquette

The general greeting etiquette for Russians is to shake hands, but they must take off their gloves when shaking hands. Kissing and hugging are common rituals for long-lost relatives and friends. Men usually kiss the back of women’s hands.

On grand occasions, Russians greet distinguished guests with the "bread and salt" method to express the highest respect and warmest welcome. When invited to a Russian home, you should take off your clothes and hat after entering the house, and say hello to the hostess first, then the male host and others.

Men must obtain the consent of women before smoking.
