·         Russia is a very homogeneous team with very tall players.

·         They have good tactical jump float and use triple blocking.

·         They are not so good in reception even in overhand reception.

·         They are very powerful in attacking but technically not so variable and with mistakes.

 

·         They have only one way to play.
