Big cities in Russia (such as Moscow) are not like the rest of the country in terms of entertainment. Entertainment in Moscow is like entertainment in Western Europe (think France, Italy, UK) Russian rural areas are more like Eastern Europe (think Hungary, Czech Republic) The same is true about Arts that are mostly European in nature, except folk arts that have been influenced by both Europe and Asia.
Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are another story. The cultures of these countries were heavily influenced by Middle Eastern countries (particularly Azerbaijan with majority of its population being Muslim)
