It can be as simple as <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Здра́вствуйте</em></span></strong></span>/<span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Здра́вствуй</em></span></strong></span>! Like
      "Hello" in English, you can use this greeting at any time of the day and with nearly anyone.
      Keep in mind, however, that you will use this expression only once in the day. If you meet
      again later, you should greet each other using a different expression. You may use
        <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брое
            у́тро!</em></span></strong></span></em></span> Good morning! <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брый день!</em></span></strong></span> Good afternoon! or
        <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брый
        ве́чер!</em></span></strong></span> Good evening! depending on the time of day. More informal
      greetings such as <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Приве́т!</em></span></strong></span> Hi! or the very slangy <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Салю́т!</em></span></strong></span> Hey! are also possible,
      but you should be careful when, and with whom you use these.</p><p>As we do in English, you might ask someone you know how he/she is doing: <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Как пожива́ете?</em></span></strong></span> How are
      you? <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Как дела́?</em></span></strong></span>
      How are things (going)? Possible responses are<span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"> Хорошо</em></span></strong></span>́ Fine; <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Норма́льно</em></span></strong></span> As usual;<span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"> Ничего́</em></span></strong></span> O.K. Unlike
      Americans, whose response to these questions is often nothing more than a polite Tine,
      thanks." Russians may take the time to tell you the whole truth!</p><p><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До свида́ния</em></span></strong></span>
      Good bye! (literally: "Until our next meeting.") will work in all situations when saying
      good-bye. You may also use: <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Всего́
          хоро́шего</em></span></strong></span>; <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Всего́ до́брого!</em></span></strong></span> All the best. <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Пока́!</em></span></strong></span> See ya! or Bye! is more
      casual and you should be careful when you use it, and with whom.</p><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table border="0" width="100%"><col width="1*"/><col width="1*"/><thead><tr>
