Russians have many superstitions. One that I tend to forget is that when being welcomed into a home, it is considered bad luck to shake hands or offer a gift through the threshold of the door. You must always enter the apartment/house completely before offering your hand. For me, it has always been customary to offer my hand as soon as I see someone. If you do this in Russia, you may be rebuffed.
