Superstition and Mysticism in Russia part 1

Привет всем! Yana, Yulia and Evgeniya would like to tell you about superstition and mysticim in Russia. You see, believing in superstition has been seen through out the history of our country, it became a part of culture and daily life of people living here. We would also like to introduce you with a well-known Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov and his famous book "The Master and Margarita", in wich lots of mystical events take place. More information about Mikhail Bulgakov and the book you can find here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Bulgakov).
In this video we also mentioned one notion - a shared apartment in English and коммунальная квартира (коммуналка) in Russian. As a rule, in a shared apartment live several families or some people. Each family or a person occupies one or several rooms, but all of them use 1 kitchen, 1 toilet, 1 bathroom and a hall.

Все верно, у нас это называется "посидеть на дорожку", в моей семье мы всегда так делаем перед поездкой.

To my mind many people still follow some of them. Foe example 1 found 1 interesting fact in the internet. When someone sneezes, don’t forget to say, “Bud’ zdorov” (Be healthy) or “Na zdorovie” (For your health) or Bless you. Otherwise the sneezing person will get sick. I think 99% of Russians think this “na zdorovie” thing is just a tradition. But actually it’s a superstition which meaning was forgotten long ago.

А музей очень интересный, съездите обязательно! :)

Я не знаю, если вы слышали это суеверие, но перед выходом на большие поездки, в моей семье мы все должны сесть спокойно в течение нескольких секунд, прежде чем уходим из дома.

Да конечно! Обожаю етот фильм. Anastasiya Vertinskaya is actually one of my mother's favorite actresses and she plays the role of Margarita in the movie.

@AnnaMelnik1

the book "Мастер и Маргарита" really has it's own mistical spirit. by the way, have you watched the film after the book?

this museum is worth to see, I'm sure you'll like it.

about superstitions which we follow at home...well, yes, I believe that every family has it's superstition, as for mine, for example when we are going to leave home and go somewhere more than for one day, we have a so called посидеть на дорорку.

но несмотря на то, что это всего лишь суеверия,мы верим в них.

Wow that tree of all the locks is ridiculous! I've never seen anything like that. I enjoyed getting a look into that museum. In America, there is a wide range of levels of surreptitiousness, but overall I think Russians are far more superstitious.

[MrTurganov]

Very true. In my family we have a superstition,such as "one should not cut his/her finger or toe nails at night because something bad might happen next day." I still do not understand why, but i guess that's why it's called superstition. Great video, good job!

Kакое интересное видео. Мастер и Маргарита - одна из моих любимых книг но я не заметилa сколько суеверия она имело в ней. Я хотелa бы посетить тот музей. Моя мама очень суеверна, но я не. My mom is Russian and grew up there, so she follows all kinds of old Russian superstitions, like forbidding me to whistle in the house, or making me look at myself in the mirror before I leave if I forgot something and had to come back into the house. Do you have any superstitions you follow at home?
