With numerous ethnic groups with different cultures and religions, expect to adhere to more than a handful of superstitions when you visit Russia. More than half of Russians believe in astrology, prophetic dreams, omens, and bad luck. A well-known superstition that can lead to financial difficulty concerns bottles of alcohol. Russians believe that if you leave empty bottles on a table, misfortune will befall you. Leaving an emptied bottle of liquor on a table is an omen foreshadowing financial ruin, grief, and suffering. So, make sure you don’t place that bottle back on the table if you’ve finished its content. Before you lose your happy buzz searching for a recycle bin where you can deposit the bottles, know that traditionally, you only need to place the empty bottles on the floor, and you’ll be fine.
