Real Smiles
The general impression most people have is that Russians aren’t friendly people. This is because we don’t really see them smile. The reason for this misconception is because Russians only choose to smile when they are completely genuine. They don’t smile just to be polite. Russians are known for living by the popular Russian proverb, “Laughter for no reason is a sign of foolishness.”

Right Hand
When you are meeting Russians for the first time and you want to take them out to coffee, make sure to check their right hand instead of the left. By tradition, Russians place their wedding band on their right hand. This tradition is not only followed in Russia, but also in other countries like Germany, Poland, Israel, and India.
