Understanding of Russia

In Russia most people speak the language Russian, and like to be addressed by their three names which is first, middle, and last in a business setting unless told otherwise. They’re very conservative, and take the upmost pride in their culture, and country. Most Russians practice Russian orthodox, or Muslim. They are very religious, and uphold a status at all times. Status is very important to them. They have very strict etiquette, and I will be keeping that in mind when traveling over to the business dinner. They practice a firm greeting, with a handshake, while making direct eye contact. Dinner etiquette, and business etiquette is the same here in the U.S. Woman are treated with the up most respect. The men in Russia are responsible for holding a status that includes treating, and respecting woman. Family life is different for Russians. All members in the family are responsible for one another. Often times the children are responsible for working to take care of their parents. They keep a tight bond, and that's mostly cultural.
