They seem to think that for Americans it is not socially/in a place of work acceptable. I have heard that a few times already from different people and especially those that recently got here. Actually, I was just talking about this exact thing with a Russian employee thats currently in Russia who told me that this is what most Russians there are told about Americans. She was surprised that she was able to ask me a non work related question and told me specifically that everyone warned her not to talk about non-work related topics. Either that or your Russian woman is shy.... :-) I have a feeling she was told by her Rusian counterparts (like most Russian women and Russian people in general) not to ask or engage in personal conversations with Americans.

In her living memory from talking/living with survivors, might be alot of bad stuff. The Russians and Germans rang up 7 out of 8 battle deaths in world war II. HUGE numbers of the worst behaviors going. After WWII it was terrible with millions of undereducated "ordealed" vets walking (limping) around and families torn apart on scales unimaginable to us in the US. Add vodka, years on the front without women, and communist rule, and the Russian women have a "living history of below averge treatment". So to us she's just being a ? Anyway - it could be not that at all. Maybe she's from Stalingrad - or maybe she's an Americanized corporate climber. Roissy says she'll look old earlier than other Europeans anyway.

Anyone who doesn't crack a smile back or doesn't respond to a verbal "hi" (consistently) should be considered a dick/bitch. Think about it- you worked for the same company and she didn't reciprocate the simplest, least aggressive of greetings- a smile.
