Experiences in Russia

I am studying at the University of Applied Science in Rapperswil. In the communication module, our group has received a project about intercultural differences. Our assignment is to do a platform for Swiss engineers who will go to Russia for business purposes. On that platform, they should be able to obtain information about Russia and how the Russian culture differs from Swiss culture. For that project, we need people who have some experience in Russia.

Do you have any stories to share? Stories about an experience in Russia, which you think is typical for Russian culture.
