1. Cultural characteristics of Russia. My presentation is not devoid of humor and share the truth. If you ever go to Russia, it will be interesting to know some peculiarities of Russia.

2. National character The national character of Russian people are very controversial. Only Russian can hope for the best but always prepare for the worst. Be prepared to Russia - a country of contrasts. The national character of Russian people are very controversial. Only Russian can hope for the best but always prepare for the worst.

3. Russian "soul" Soul - is immaterial substance, separated from the body at death. On the "Russian" soul reasoned Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Chekhov, from the best Russian movies and music written by the immortal works of great Russian composers. The main features of the Russian soul include latitude, mystery and love of extremes, as you surely will see, even when meeting with Russian abroad. Do not be surprised if the Russian for a few hours of playing cards will lose all his property, an apartment and a car. Inability to stop in time and passion - also two important components. Briefly the basic postulate of the Russian soul can be expressed as: "to love - so love to walk - so to walk, shoot - so shoot." Soul - is immaterial substance, separated from the body at death.

4. Attitude to the Italians The Italians deserved reputation as a Russian guy and emotional people. The Italians deserved reputation as a Russian guy and emotional people. Russian belief that Italians live in palaces by the sea, all the while eating pasta and pizza, as well as sing the song of Sanremo 70-80's (themselves Russian love them). Russian belief that Italians live in palaces by the sea, all the while eating pasta and pizza, as well as sing the song of Sanremo 70-80's (themselves Russian love them). Russian elite associates Italy with fashion, style, excellent cuisine and the best resorts. So the Italians - always a welcome guest for the Russian master.

5. Freebie Freebie Russian believe in freebies. This is the second main component of the mentality of the nation after the Russian soul. Freebie - all sorts of benefits that should fall from the sky. Moreover, in order to be earned, not necessarily work or put any effort. Probably for this reason, very many foreign companies can acquire in Russia's largest state: first, foreign companies love and are able to work, and secondly, the Russian love all kinds of discounts and gifts "for free". Not without reason in Moscow, where housing prices are comparable with the world, advertising elite complex was: "Buy apartment and get a cap as a gift." Russian believe in freebies.

6. Geography Geography Russia - the largest country in the world. Russian territory is crossed 11 time zones. Therefore, going on a business trip, check for the difference in time or at least see where on the map of Russia is the desired city. Be sure to inquire about the availability of necessary infrastructure (in a small snow-covered town of Yakutia, it simply may not have) and carefully take care of a competent translation, as English or Italian there may simply not know.

7. Officials Officials Russian bureaucracy - one of the most bureaucratic in the world. However, with the right approach of the Russian bureaucracy is quite friendly and nice. Keep in mind that a great importance for the Russian bureaucracy has a reverence for rank. One call to a senior official is sufficient to resolve the issue, because of which you have two years go over all instances and cabinets.
