Here's my situation: I hope to visit Russia next year; one of my good friends used to date a girl from Russia (let's call her "Katya"), and gave me her contact info (they are still on good terms). I have never met her in person, so I have a question: in Russian culture, would it be rude if I asked her if I could stay at her place, or at relatives place? I would offer to pay of course, and bring a gift if she lets me stay.

Большое спасибо

Your good friend can ask about it at "Katya". It will be more pertinent Smile

Apartments in Russia are often very small (one room and a kitchen). So maybe no place for visitors, but you can always ask.
