The russian culture has a lot of myths and supertitions associated with it. However, about half of the populaton either very strongly belives in them, or thinks superstition are the most absurd thing ever imagined to fool the gullible. When you go on a long trip somewhere, everyone has to sit down for a few minutes before you leave or else you will have bad luck. you shouldnt open umbrellas under a roof or whistle in the house. You shouldnt talk about something good happening before it does, you may jinx yourself or others..but if you do you saysomething, then you HAVE to say "tfu, tfu, tfu" as if you're spitting over your left shoulder. The people i know in my culture are very wary of how they talk to people or about people. They are very tectful...unless someone does something disrespectful, in which case, even the most polite russians can erupt.
Also, if your ears are red or they burn..someone is talking about you.
