    I’ll try to give you the phonetic versions, so you don’t have to wrestle with the cyrillic alphabet.

    hello = zdrast – vooee-tye (formal or plural) (stress on zdrast)
    zdrast – vooee (informal and signular)
    hi (or greetings) = pree-vyet (more commonly used) (stress on vyet)
    congratulations = poz-drahv-lye-yoo (stress on lye)
    goodbye = dohs-vee-dahn-ee-yeh (stress on dohs and dahn) (somewhat formal)
    see you= pah-ka (relaxed) (stress on both)
    please or you’re welcome =pozh-ow-oo-sta (stress on ow)
    thank you = spah-cee-buh (stress on cee)
    good luck = schahst-lee-vo (stress on lee)
    how are you = kahk vooee poh-zhi-vie-ee-tye (formalized) (stress on kahk and vie)
    how are things? = Kahk dell-ah (informal, usual) (stress on kahk and ah)
    [I'm] fine = nor-mahl-no (stress on mahl)
