Russia is full of cultural significance and history. You would be amazed at some of the unique facts about this country. Keep reading to uncover these 3 interesting facts about Russians.

Family is Significant

The first interesting fact about Russians involves family. If you think they only talk to their immediate family, you couldn’t be more wrong. Russians are very close to their parents, grandparents, kids and other relatives as well. Family is considered highly important in Russian culture. If you decide to marry a Russian woman, just know that you will be marrying into a big family!

Don’t Say No to Food

The second interesting fact about Russians deals with food. If you are ever invited to an event by a Russian, never turn down their food. Russians, especially women, take great pride in hosting and will find it incredibly offensive if you refuse to eat their food. 

And if you are invited to their home, never show up empty-handed. Do you think they will appreciate you showing up without a gift if they have been cooking for you for several hours? Probably not. Be considerate of the time they spent preparing for you and don’t deny them the gift of sharing with you!

      I am inundated with women who want to be with me! It’s an interesting problem to have. You don’t want to offend anyone but it’s physically and emotionally impossible to be with more than one woman unless you convert to Islam ☪️ or become RLDS (Reformed Latter Day Saint aka an old school Morman) . I’m with one woman whose one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. The little things are important. Knowing things about her and paying attention to her are a huge thing!

    Hello Russian Dating,

    I have met a woman on Dream Singles and will be spending next Christmas with her and her family. I am practically terrified! Lol. I do not want to embarrass myself or my potential future wife to be. Can you help me with what an appropriate gift would be for her parents? I know that first greeting would be flowers for the mother and a liquor from my region in Canada, but what about Christmas gifts? I cannot find this anywhere and my gal is being a bit elusive in this subject.

    Thank you in advance.
    Trip

      Hi Trip,

      Wow, we are so excited for you! You are spot on with the first greeting gifts, by the way. Maybe a Christmas present for your soon to be mother-in-law could be a Pavlovo Posad shawl. It’s a really popular Russian craft. There are many to choose from so spend some time researching which one looks the best (you can’t go wrong). But honestly, we recommend bringing them something from America. It would be so unique because they wouldn’t be able to just go to the store and get it where they live. Preferably something they can look at and talk to other people about. It would give you an opportunity to share your culture as well as giving a gift. But steer clear of anything funny because it might not translate. And then, it would just be awkward.

      We hope this helps!

    Propose to her… fool…when are you going to get another woman as cultured and as beautiful as she…?…do not overthink…sweep her off her feet on a winged-horse crying a warrior chant from the antediluvian era…her soul will be very pleased.
    (P.S. Take this in the good manner intended)

    Met a fantastic woman… whom for the first time I can relate to on a deeper than double-entendre laden remarks…questions…and replies. Going to go see her in two months…and it is starting to sink in…I become overwhelmed…I remind myself… once again… to just be myself…for the truth is the truth … and it is enough…
