10. What Subjects Should I Avoid in a Russian Conversation?<\/h3>\n
This post talked about some common taboos<\/a>\u00a0when talking to Russians \u2014 and topics that are fair game in Russia, even though they are off-limits in other places. Did you know that asking what your friend makes may be OK, but don’t you dare ask about a woman’s age (\u0432\u043e<\/span>\u0437\u0440\u0430\u0441\u0442<\/strong>)?<\/p>\n We looked at a practical side of staying in Russia<\/a>, namely renting a place to live and how rental conventions are different from those in Europe or the US. For example, if you’re looking to rent an apartment\/flat (\u043a\u0432\u0430\u0440\u0442\u0438<\/span>\u0440\u0430<\/strong>) in Russia, be prepared to deal with a private landlord, who will offer you a furnished dwelling with the utilities paid.<\/p>\n Image via Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n In the midst of international showdowns and scandals, we wanted to emphasize the preferences of everyday Russians<\/a> not wielding political power. Favorite activities include walks (\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0433\u0443<\/span>\u043b\u043a\u0438<\/strong>) and drinking tea.<\/p>\n This post listed some online classes in Russian<\/a> available at the time of publication. The subjects ranged from learning Russian to Russian literature and history presented in Russian. Some of these courses (\u043a\u0443<\/span>\u0440\u0441\u044b<\/strong>) are still available now!<\/p>\n We explained the difference between two similar-sounding groups of people<\/a> \u2014 Cossacks (\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u043a\u0438<\/span><\/strong><\/span>) and Kazakh (\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u0445\u0438<\/strong>). One refers to a military society in the south of Russian and Ukraine, and the other to a Turkic ethnic group.<\/p>\n We examined some quirks of Russian parenting<\/a>. Parents (\u0440\u043e\u0434\u0438<\/span>\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0438<\/strong>) in Russia tend to be fairly protective of their children and involved in their lives \u2014 sometimes even at the expense of their privacy.<\/p>\n When a Russian talks about soups or a sandwich (\u0431\u0443\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0431\u0440\u043e<\/span>\u0434<\/strong>), do they mean the same thing you are used to? This post<\/a> points out some important traits of dishes known worldwide when they are made in Russia.<\/p>\n Image via Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n This list of popular birds<\/a> will help you describe the avians you see in Russia. The list includes such birds as sparrows (\u0432\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0431\u044c\u0438<\/span><\/strong>) and geese (\u0433\u0443<\/span>\u0441\u0438<\/strong>).<\/p>\n We explain the difference between two prepositions<\/a> translated into English as “for” \u2014 “\u0437\u0430<\/strong>” and “\u0434\u043b\u044f<\/strong>.” One is used primarily to express your support or an exchange and the other to express a purpose.<\/p>\n9. 5 Things You Should Know About Renting Apartments in Russia<\/h3>\n
