One issue I think is a problem for Russian Judo is that it was devised to win in sport Judo at the elite level. It is somewhat assumed those using it would have the physical attributes necessary to compete at the top level. It may not be necessarily as useful as Japanese style Judo would be for the average 45 year old who may want to keep in shape more than anything else.
Sociologically, I find the difference in the approaches that developed in Materialist, Atheist Soviet Russia vs Spiritual Japan really intriguing, but that's another thread.
