Abstract
The paper presents the description of specific communicative practice among the Russian language speakers. This research is based on linguistic and cultural data collected in everyday speech and behavior, as well as in the Russian philosophical and literary tradition. The following elements of verbal communication were analyzed: syntactic structures, lexical units, and phonetics. Sociocultural phenomena, such as role-switching, use of background knowledge, and talk domination were observed too. Generally, the method applied here could be defined as content analysis. The findings of the present study suggest that the typical features of the communicative style in the Russian culture are straightforwardness, familiarity, gender and race intolerance, aggressiveness, rude language, irony, and emotionality

Summary
There has been an increasing interest in so-called communicative behavior. The focus of studies has been on verbal behavior, nonverbal behavior, or communication behavior. None of these categories represents a fixed set of behaviors; it is the researchers’ responsibility to identify the specific behaviors that they wish to study. Numerous studies have attempted to explain how people behave in communicative settings, what the rules are, and what one should know to understand others (Hymes 1974; Leech 1983; Grice 1991; Hall 1990). The objective of the present study is the description of some essential characteristics in Russian communicative behavior. This research is based on linguistic and cultural data, collected in everyday speech and behavior, as well as in the Russian philosophical and literary tradition
