The Language Destination

The presence of German loanwords in Russian is due to historical connections between Russia and German-speaking countries through trade, military interactions, and cultural exchanges, particularly during the reigns of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great.

We say "zdravstvuyte" to old or unknown people. It means "hello". It's formal. We say "privet" to close relatives like parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and friends, as well. It means "hi". It's very informal.
