"Hello" in Russian

**высокая мода** · February 21st, 2004, 03:18 AM

I've heard so many different ways of saying hi/hello in Russian! What is the formal and informal way of saying hello.

Is it здравствулте and привет?

Hello (formal): Здравствуйте (note the spelling)
Hello (informal): Здравствуй or привет
