Synchronization Context

Syncing between Moscow and Sydney is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Moscow Business Pulse

  • Culture Direct, formal, and results-oriented. Trust is earned through performance and reliability.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best reached between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1 PM - 2 PM lunch slot. Russian business culture can be very direct and formal; do not mistake a lack of small talk for a lack of interest. Be prepared with solid data and a clear "bottom line" for your discussion.

Sydney Business Pulse

  • Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
