Ten things you should know about Russia

( Ten things you should know about Russia )

9.The great Russian belief in all will be ok.
Russian people generally live for ‘Авось’. Literally
translated it means maybe or perhaps. This is the
belief that when faced with a problem it is better not
to do anything at all but wait because – ‘Авось’
– everything will be fine and misfortune will not
come my way. For example a student may not study
before an exam because ‘Авось’ the questions
will be on what he already knows.

10. A love of freebies. The Russian dream is to be
successful and rich without any effort. ‘Халява’ is
when you find luck out of the blue, for example by
winning the lottery.
