Basic differences are that russian judokas tend to stand with a bent over/lower posture and use alot of pick-ups and leg grabs.
Japanese judo has an upright stance and tends to focus more on techniques such as uchimata and others that are executed from a standing straight position and rely more on breaking balance than explosiveness.
It was also russian judo that introduced flying armlocks to international judo. The "russian grip" is where you reach over your opponents back and grab his belt with one hand. This is common in russian judo and allows for many pickups such as the khabarelli (spelling?)
