Signification
A productive or engaging encounter.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'посиделки' (sitting together) often turns into an 'интересная встреча'. It's culturally expected to spend hours talking if the connection is good. In Russian business, an 'интересная встреча' is often the first step to building 'trust' (доверие), which is more important than the contract itself. Russian literature is built on the 'chance encounter'. Think of Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita' where the whole plot starts with an 'интересная встреча' at Patriarch's Ponds. In big cities like Moscow, 'интересная встреча' is a common way to describe networking at 'anti-cafes' or tech hubs.
