How to say “Cheers” in Russian
За здоровье!
Za zdorov'ye!
Literally: To health!neutral
Russians usually make a short toast rather than saying one fixed word: "за + accusative" (to ...), e.g. за дружбу (to friendship). "На здоровье" is a common foreigner mistake: it means "you're welcome / enjoy" in reply to thanks for food.
