Taboos In Russia You Must Experience While Living In Russia by Austeen007(m): 3:27pm On Aug 27, 2020
Just like we africans have taboos and supertitious believes still existing amongst our different culture and norms.

In the same vein, Russians also do boosts of a handfull of unbelievable preserved cultural taboos still in existence in modern Russia.

Many of these taboos you must experiencefew or more of it oftentimes in Russia.

Russia, is one of the countries in the Eurasia that is mindful of their cultural values. Uraaaaaaaaaay! i hope their's no Nazi German here? they are the only ones that would understand when Russian use the exlamation Uraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! May 9.

Sorry for digressing a bit.

Here are the few of the social Taboos in Russia

In Russia when you whistle in the house, it is considered blowing away financial luck (Blowing away Money).

When you enter a Russian home, you must see a few or more coin in a bowel or in a flower pot. This is considered to bring in goodluck into the house.

Don't spill salt in the house; it is considered to cause a hitted argument in the family.

Going to a funneral, do not bring odd numbers of flowers like 3, 5, 7. It must be even like 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on.

Do not leave an epmpty bottle of drink on the table, after you might have finished drinking your vodka, vino, champagn do well to place the empty bottles on the floor.

They're many more social and cultural taboos in Russia you most experience on your visit to Russia

World war II when they defeated the red army defeated the Nazi Germany. You often hear Russian's shout Uraaaaaaaaaaaaay! (Huraaaaaaaaaaay)! on the day they call Pobyeda in other word "Victory day," May 9, 1945.

They can also use the exclamation on so many other occasions. But it makes more sense to them on 9th of May, every year.
