The easiest way to tell that a person has no idea what he's talking about when he's talking about Russians is the mention of "nazdorovie" (any way you spell it) as a toast. Here's a news flash for you guys: Russians don't use "nazdorovie" ("на здоровье") as a toast. No matter what you've been told in cheap-ass spy novels, movies or TV series.
Oh, now I get it, you can not get toasts down there in KIAD... sorry mate, next time in ULLI or UUWW.
