Before leaving for a long journey

travelers must sit for a moment in silence before leaving the house.

DON'T CLEAN THE THE HOUSE!
After someone has left the house

on a long journey, their room and their things should not be cleaned up until they have arrived.

SPIT ON OR KNOCK ON WOOD!
Knocking on wood is practiced

in Russia as in other countries.
However Russians often knock three times and add three spits over left shoulder.

Слайд 5

DON'T BREAK A MIRROR!
Breaking a mirror is considered as bad

luck in Russia.

Слайд 6

DON'T STEP ON MY FOOT!
If one person accidentally steps on another

person's foot, it is common for the person who was stepped on to lightly step on the foot of the person who stepped first. It is said that they thus avoid a future conflict.

Слайд 7

DON'T CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY BEFORE IT!
Birthday parties should be celebrated

on or after one's birthday, not before.
And never give someone birthday wishes and presents before their birthday.

Слайд 8

DON'T FORGET THINGS!
Returning home for forgotten things is
a bad omen.

If returning is necessary, you should look in the mirror before leaving the house again. Otherwise the journey will be bad.

Слайд 9

NEVER GIVE SHARP OBJECTS AS GIFTS!
Russians consider giving sharp objects,
like knives

or scissors,
as gifts, to be taboo.
You can avoid this taboo taking symbolic little money, for example one Russian ruble,
in exchange as if it is a trade, not a gift.
