If you are visiting Russia for the first time, there are a few more rules of social etiquette you should remember.
When you visit someone, it is polite to arrive on time and bring a small present. You should greet people with a smile and a firm handshake. If you are invited to a Russian home, take off your shoes at the door and accept the slippers offered to you.
At the table, wait until the host invites you to start eating. It is polite to try all the dishes and say thank you for the meal. Russians often value hospitality, so refusing food or drink may seem rude.
In public places, speak quietly and do not push in a queue. On public transport, give your seat to elderly people, pregnant women or parents with small children.
These simple rules will help you make a good impression and show respect for Russian culture.
