ProCurator: It is rightly said - "It doesn't matter who wins the fight, it's how it's shown on TV that counts". I remember in 2006 I was given a lovely American brochure "Tourist to Russia" (freely available until 1995 at $7 per copy)

Don't be surprised if you are offered to sing along to the balalaika. Try to catch the melody and at least "hum" to the beat. A feature of many Russian rap songs(humorous rap, called chastushki) is a rhythmic squatting accompanied by clapping hands on calves, thighs or buttocks
...
If the casual conversation partner puts their little finger and index finger forward, they are giving you a hard time. Your ideal response would be to say 'Bratan, ya ne v teme' and retreat
...
If you want to meet prostitutes for sex you can address a pimp (krisha), who is usually stationed in the hall of your hotel. If you are not interested in professional prostitutes - any Russian woman will give you the corresponding services for a maximum of $200 or an invitation to a restaurant. Russian women generally disregard basic hygiene - suggest that your woman should have a shower before coitus, but you should motivate this by religious reasons (ablutions) so as not to offend her.
...
The Russian police have a pejorative nickname among the population: musora (garbage man) or ment (cop). However, avoid using it in unfamiliar surroundings or when you suspect a KGB officer.
...
Refusing to drink vodka (especially when you are told to "pei do dna") is considered a serious insult and may cause a fight. If you are not medically fit - try to drink the offered portion and exhale sharply with a "Ahhh!" sound.
...
The "Fuck you!" gesture with the middle finger is not very common in Russia. If you want to insult your interlocutor (which we highly discourage!) - say "ya ebal tvoya mat'!" or "nado poiti na huy!"
