Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[REGNUM] Ingushetia issued a memo for tourists with recommendations on how to dress and behave so as not to offend local residents and not cause them an unwanted reaction. The rules are published on the official page of the Dzheyrakh district administration in Instagram. In the rules of conduct, guests are advised, first of all, to monitor their appearance, not to drink alcohol, and women not to smoke, and men not to try to talk to unfamiliar women, and even more so not to touch them with their hands. A separate piece of advice concerns visiting the houses of local residents and inviting them to food. It is not customary to reject such a traditional sign of hospitality in Ingushetia in order not to offend the owner. "Do not try to talk to unfamiliar women, do not stare at women, and even less point your hand or finger in their direction. In case you are officially introduced to a woman, do not reach out. To avoid an awkward situation, just tilt your head slightly as a sign that you are pleased to meet you," they advise men in the memo. As for the appearance of a tourist, here women are advised not to wear tight-fitting, open and transparent clothes, "no open bellies and deep neckline." Men are warned against wearing shorts, which "in Ingushetia are only worn by children," and they are not advised to "bare their backs, let alone their breasts." "When visiting absolutely any region of our country, it is important to know about local customs and rules of conduct. This will help to avoid embarrassing situations, as well as enjoy the trip and communication with the local population without fear of offending anyone," summarizes the recommendations in the memo.
