Do Russians Smash Bottles on New Ships?
May 9th, 2008 by Linda Haywood Posted in Europe, Far East, Films, festivitiesI’ve just been watching K19: The Widowmaker and the boat (yes, I know, it was a nuclear submarine therefore boat) wasn’t properly christened with the traditional smashed champagne. I wanted to know, do Russians share the same naval superstitions? Would they smash wine onto a submarine? Comments welcome.
