Doing Business

Business Etiquette

  • Formal dress is the norm for business meetings. Women should dress conservatively and wear skirts rather than pants
  • Men should not remove their jackets during negotiations
  • Making the effort to speak a few words in Russian is seen as a gesture of good faith
  • Be on time for meetings. If your Russian counterpart arrives late, do not react negatively. Patience is a virtue in Russia, but punctuality is not
  • It is customary to begin and end a meeting with a brief handshake
  • It can be very difficult to achieve anything without help from a local, so seek out knowledgeable local contacts
  • Business cards should be printed with English on one side and Russian on the other. Exchange business cards at the start or end of a meeting
  • An open and direct business style is the norm
  • Deals should be followed up and confirmed in writing as quickly as possible
  • Be alert if your business associates are making toasts. This is an important tradition, and failure to join in is considered rude
  • If invited to someone's house, it is customary to bring flowers or another gift
