Russian Etiquettes For Indian Students

How should be the behavior of an Indian Student in Russia ?

  • Introductions are informal and direct. A smile is only used for greeting personal friends. Smiling is not respectful on formal occasions and smiling for no reason is a sign of idiocy.

  • Shake hands when first meeting people and leaving, but never across a threshold. It is a sign of bad luck.

  • Russians are still very title-conscious: use titles and show respect.

  • Russians think of themselves as being absolutely honest and trustworthy. So don’t show distrust.

  • Like most nations they are proud of their country. Don’t tell them that in your country everything is bigger, cleaner and better organized.
