How to say -Mrs- in Russian
Adult Russians who are on formal terms usually call each other by their first name and patronymic (middle name). This is a mark of respect, and young people address older people in this way as well. For example, a schoolchild will address his/her teacher as Тамара Павловна (Tamara Pavlovna).
In Soviet times another official form of address was товарищ (tavarisch) comrade used either with the last name or on its own. Nowadays, товарищ has lost popularity and the pre-Revolutionary господин (gaspadeen) sir and госпожа (gaspazha) madam have reappeared.
