Russian culture context

Speaking about my native culture, which is Russian by the way, in terms of Hofstede and Hall theories, I can say that Russian culture is a high-context culture. Generally, Russians tend to be indirect in their communications and their understanding of a situation is usually based on a whole host of factors.

There is a nice site for Hofstede's intercultural dimensions theory that also displays world map for each of the dimensions indexing almost every country's score:
