It should have been worded,,,, Why Russians don’t smile in public! Of course they smile in private or at the dinner table,,, especially while toasting to something,,,, anything.
Ukraine is slowly changing to more western ways,,, but Russia itself has not changed much,,, at least not in 2009 they didn’t.
If you don’t want to be identified as a westerner on the street,,, don’t laugh, don’t smile,, don’t shout, and if something bad or unusual is happening,,,, don’t gawk!
With the current troubles in Ukraine, and the always present suspicions of Russia,,, it would be advised to learn how to become invisible while in the FSU!
It's a cultural thing about Russians. They often don't smile in photographs, but do smile in private. How do I know this? Eight trips and many photos taken with Russians. Many conversations in private. And dcv is right...wear black clothes and everyone will think you are a Russian.
