What advice would you give to a foreigner visiting Russia for the first time?
Spotlight on Russia gets familiar with social etiquette in Russia
When Visiting Someone’s Home
If you are invited to someone's house for dinner or for a visit, you should remember to take a gift with you. This can be a cake, a box of chocolates or sweets, a bunch of flowers or a bottle of wine. If there is a small child in the family, you should also buy him or her a small gift. If you decide to take flowers, give an odd number.
You should dress casually for dinner in someone's home. When you arrive at the house, you will be asked to remove your shoes and put on a pair of house slippers. Whenever you go to someone's house, it's polite to compliment the host. In Russia, though, try not to compliment anything specific, because the host may want to give it to you! Also, make sure that you don't cross your legs so that the sole of your foot is showing, or put your feet on the furniture. This is very bad manners and will offend people.
When it comes to food and drink, you should never refuse anything that is offered. This is also very bad manners. Finally, don't forget to thank your host.
When traveling
On public transport, as in most countries, it is polite to give your seat to someone who needs it more than you, such as a mother with children or an elderly person. Also, make sure your feet remain on the ground and don’t show the soles of your feet or put your feet on the seats. Eating on public transport is bad manners.
The usual way for men to greet each other on the street is to shake hands firmly while retaining eye contact. Looking away is rude and shows indifference. First, though, they will take off their gloves. It is very bad manners for men to shake hands while wearing gloves, no matter how cold it is. If you are a man travelling with a woman, you should carry her bags and open doors for her. You should also leave a vehicle first so you can offer your hand to help her get out.
