Russian farewell traditions?

[bek]

Hello all,
I am doing some research and was wondering if anybody knew of any specific farewell traditions in Russia? I know that on occasions, Russians drink....a lot!! Other than that there must be some special tradition for saying goodbye. I'm talking about farewells other than death by the way.

Can anybody shed some light?

I don't think there is a tradition of saying goodbye. I know just a superstition - not to clean the house after someone has left. )
