Russian and Est Europian are very good in Judo, but not better then French, Cuban and Chinese . Japanese are still the best overall.

I think the interesting thing to look at would be medals per participant in the countries. Also stylistically the French and Cuban are quite close to the Russians. When people speak of Russian Judo they could just as easily be talking of European Judo.
