There are 13th floors, seats number 13 etc. Many people in Russia do believe that this is bad luck. One exception - people in Russia don't give the even number of flowers (except at the funerals). So giving 13 flowers can be marginally better than giving 12 flowers.

I have lived in 3 apartments since my birth in Russia. They were 13, 113 and 13 - no kidding. I always thought of this number as my lucky number.
now I live in toronto, canada, and my apartment number is 214, but really it is 213 because of the skipping. I don't know why people here freak out with number 13

I'm from Russia.
Most of our buildings have 13th floor. We have no fear of this number.
