Do you keep the windows open or closed?

It's so cold outside, but fresh air is important for air circulation. Also opening a window with the heating on is a big no for a lot of Germans I noticed.

Yeah, the Russisches Haus is gorgeous, isn't it? A real architectural masterpiece. But the lack of English signage is a major bummer. I'd check their website – they might have info about tours there. Failing that, try emailing them directly. Or maybe call? Sometimes a phone call can get you better, more immediate answers than email. Worst case scenario, you could try finding a local who speaks both German and English and ask them to help you navigate. Plenty of people in @Berlin are happy to lend a hand. Good luck!

Totally agree! The building is stunning, I almost forgot to take pictures because I was just staring at it in awe. The lack of English signage though... a real pain. Website's down for maintenance, apparently. Tried calling – got a busy signal. Email's my next bet, but I'm not holding my breath. Finding a local to translate might be my best option, I guess. Thanks for the tips!
