▪️Сплюнь три ра́за че́рез ле́вое плечо́!
[ splyun' tree 'raza 'cherez 'levoye pli'cho]
🇬🇧 Spit three times over your left shoulder!

🔻One of the ancient traditions that has survived to this day is to spit three times over your left shoulder.
🔻According to popular beliefs, behind each of us on the right side there is a Guardian Angel, and on the left there is the devil, who constantly tempts and pushes us to sin.
🔻Accordingly, by spitting we drive away the evil spirits from our left shoulder so that they do not interfere with the implementation of our plans.

🔻These ideas are also reflected in the Russian language:

▪️Сходи́ть нале́во
   [ skha'dit' na'leva]
🇬🇧 cheat on a partner, adultery

▪️Ле́вый това́р
   [ 'levyj ta'var ]
🇬🇧 fake goods

▪️Ле́вые де́ньги
   [ 'levyje 'den'gee ]
🇬🇧 Money that was obtained illegally

🎧🗣⬇️ listen, practice and take care🙏!

«Русские типы - Types russes»

🔻This was the beautiful name in French for a series of postcards and photographs of Russian people from the late 19th century.

🔻The postcards were produced in Russia in a large amount to please the foreigners who came to a remote snowy country, where severe frost reigned and, according to rumors, bears roamed the streets.
