Social Etiquette in Russia

When you meet someone for the first time in Russia, it is polite to shake hands and say hello. In formal situations, people often use a person’s first name and patronymic. Friends and relatives usually hug or kiss each other on the cheek. Safe topics for small talk are the weather, family, films, sport, studies, food and hobbies. It is better to avoid asking about someone’s age, salary or private life.

When you visit someone, phone before you come, arrive on time and bring a small gift, such as flowers, chocolates or a cake. At the table, wait until everyone is served and thank the host for the meal. When you leave, thank your hosts for their hospitality.
