Business
Russian business is conducted in a fashion similar to
Western countries with subtle differences. Russians are
business-minded so it is not necessary to form personal relations
but developing a good network of resident associates is a good
idea. Dress is formal and conservative and on greeting a good firm
handshake and direct eye contact indicates strength. Business cards
are exchanged and it's advisable to get a Russian translation of
your details on the alternate side. Business hours are generally
from 9am to 6pm from Monday to Friday.
