Culture is commonly understood as a set of beliefs, traditions, rules, and habits that belong to a particular group of individuals at a specific time. Therefore, it is impossible to find two identical cultures on the globe. Cultural belonging influences people’s way of acting and thinking and, consequently, it affects the business context. The paper considers the distinctions and resemblances between the cultures of Australia and Russia and compares them concerning the global business environment. The essay argues that these cultures have more dissimilar than shared features, and this leads to unequal conditions for doing business. Before moving to the comparison of Australian and Russian cultures, the two mentioned above cultural groups will be checked for the presence or absence of common features in the key dimensions of culture. Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner (2011) compare cultures by seven criteria. On one side of the scale, there are universalism, individualism, specificity, neutrality, and achievements. On the other side, there are particularism, communitarianism, diffusion, emotionality, and ascription. Apart from that, such dimensions as sequential versus synchronous time and either internal or outer direction of culture are also used. Firstly, universalism means that people obey laws, regulations, and obligations whatever the circumstances are. Particularism, on the contrary, denotes that in each particular situation, the response of people may change since they believe that universal rules do not exist. Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner (2011) mark that Australia is a country with a universalist culture, while Russia is an example of particularistic culture. Secondly, individualism implies that people highly appreciate personal achievements and the ability to make decisions independently. Collectivism, in turn, denotes that people count a group as more important than an individual. They value safety that is easier to achieve in a group. Hofstede (2020) evaluates Australia as approximately two times more individualist than Russia. It could be supposed that the high level of communitarianism in Russia is a reminder of its Soviet past. Thirdly, from a high level of individualism and universalism, follows that Australian culture is more specific; people tend to separate private life and career. At the same time, Russian culture is characterized by a high degree of diffusion; local people believe that success in relationships has a firm link with one in career and vice versa. Two chosen cultures are antipodal in other dimensions as well. Australians are more emotional than Russians and value performance at work independently from one’s position. Meanwhile, the culture in Russia cherishes people regarding their titles and statuses (Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner, 2011). This distinction leads to the difference in the power distance: in the Australian culture, an average empowered person is ten times closer to communicating with subordinates than in Russia (Hofstede, 2020). It is interesting to notice that, despite the dissimilarities, the extent of uncertainty avoidance in Australia is only one time bigger than in Russia (Hofstede, 2020). Uncertainty
