048 - Do Russians believe in superstitio...

Russian With Max
About this episode

What do Russians think about superstitions?

How they affect us?

How they affect our daily life?

I collected 11 most common Russian (probably not only Russian) superstitions and want to share them with you. I am going to tell you my prospective on that as well.
