Russian American Culture

I couldn’t find much information on Russia in the book or on the website, so I’m going to base my analysis of Russian culture on my experience.
Power Distance Index. I believe that power distance index in Russian culture is quite high, as there is a huge gap between upper and lower classes, and not really such a thing as middle class. Spain on the other hand has quite a common power distance index for Europe – 52. Its about 40 to 50 in Europe, which means that people do understand that there are different classes of people, but they don’t accent on it.
Individualism. Although people in Russia tend to become more individualistic nowadays, they still are collectivistic as well. Meaning that people would try to be as individualistic as they
Russian culture is becoming more masculine, but since there are still people who used to live in the Soviet Union where people had no chance for their own opinion or vote, where the government was trying to make everybody equal; the score is quite low. People who were born lately, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, on the other hand are becoming more masculine, that is why Hofstede has recently updated the masculinity score for Russia from 40 to 59. Spain has a score of approximately 38, which is not surprising. For some reason women act more like men and vice versa. I’m not exactly sure why its like that, but Hofstede’s studies prove it, and also based on my own experience of living in Spain, I would say
Russian has an index of 90. Again, looking back at the Soviet Union explains why Russia has such a high index for uncertainty avoidance. In the Soviet Union people were not allowed to even talk of ‘western’ technologies, the government were trying to make people think that there is nothing better in the world than what they had. That is why still, there is greater level of preference for tried and tested methods than experimenting with the unknown. Spain has quite a high score for uncertainty avoidance index also - 82. That is probably because Spanish people has so many traditions that they follow since a very long time. That reflects to their attitude while facing unknown nowadays also.
Long-Term Orientation. As there is no infromation neither for Russia nor for Spain on long term orientation score, I would guess that these 2 cultures have a similiar score on this one. Russain people just trying to enjoy today and not think about future, because it is not about what is going to happen in the future, but rather what should you do today to see the results in the future. Spanish culture has its own reasons for this, as I already said people are just lazy and dont care about future at all, so they dont even think about
