If Russia is out of phase with the West, it should be by about 90 degrees, not 180 degrees.  One Crisis period would have ended with the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War in 1922.  The next Crisis period would have encompassed the 1980s and 1990s, and ended with Putin taking power.  In this case, Russia is just now transitioning from a High to an Awakening.  You'd really have to look at the younger teens to be sure you were looking at the next generation of Idealists, and they might not have reached a rebellious age yet.

I actually think the Putin/Medvedev decades look a lot like a High.
