How would people in Russia greet each other physically?

[rbmbecky]

Do they bow or kiss a cheek or what?

 

[Boko'sBack]

They shake hands.

Shaking hands is one way, but that's very Americanized.

The traditional European fashion is to kiss both cheeks. Left(?) first I believe, but don't quote me on it.
That's how it was when I visited distant family in Hungary.
