Things You'll Only See In Russia

Superstitions

Superstitions are popular in nearly every culture, but Russians are known to take them very seriously. Walking under ladders, breaking mirrors, shaking hands in doorways are just some of the things that Russians are afraid to do. Other superstitions include this drastic one: when a new home is built, a cat must always be the first one to enter. If the cat refuses to go into the house, it must be destroyed.
