Russian teaching pay and work is measured by the exam performances in 4th, 9th and 11th grade. It appears as though " modern Russian teacher constantly faces both a personal and professional choice when working with his/her class: Is it more important to teach the subject, or to do the 'exam coaching?'" (Ilyushin & Azbel)
It seems like it is very similar to American teachers, where it depends on the teacher themselves if they want to make an interpersonal relationship with their student or if they decide if they become a little more dismissive to forming something. It is similar to many western schooling dynamics.

Russian teachers deal with chattiness, cliques, and tattle tails. Many teachers in Russia are women, which also may change the dynamic of how students treat their educators as well. (Koptevlov et al.) Russian teachers also respect the child and family dynamics at home, and will admit if there is an issue or if they made a mistake in punishment. Teachers in modern times are usually hesitant to resort to punishment unless it is absolutely needed. Research indicates that many educators in Russia are similar to American educators. (Koptevlov et al.)
