“When an American asks me this question, it’s like a wall of ice crashing down between us.〞 my Moscow-born friend Galina said. The question is “How are you?〞.
The answer Americans give, of course is, “Fine.〞 But when Russians hear this ,they think one of two things: you are experiencing a rare moment of fineness or you are lying.
If you ask a Russian “How are you?〞 , you will hear the truth. I have experienced many painful minutes of silence after my grandmother made her answer: “Terrible,〞 to which she might add, “Why? Because being old is terrible and I am very old.〞

“‘Fine’ makes Russians think that Americans are telling a lie,〞 I explained recently to an American-born friend,“That they just want to go home, eat a frozen dinner in front of the TV, and wait out the hours before going to work to make money again.〞
The thing most Russians don’t realize is that, in English, “How are you?〞 isn’t a question at all, but a form of “hi〞, like the Russian “privyet!〞
So guide books for Americans who are traveling to Russia had better tell them not to greet Russians
