Apart from language of worship and some differing rituals- not much. The Russians tend towards a spiritual numerology that favors the number l,3, and 5. it is common for an Orthodox church to have five domes- the center one symbolizing God or the Church and the outer four the four Gospels. ( it can also be argued the four points of the Compass) they have many domes- naturally Cathedrals have more. The Greeks prefer a center-type cruciform ( cross- shaped- Greek cross naturally) and this may have been borrowed form the Greek Theate, thus the Altar is center stage and there are four ranks of pews stemming from the four arms of the cross. the Russians, owing to larger church formats, do not necessarily follow this practice. a sort of panorama stage runs around the perimeter of the altar, and this is used in certain ceremonies such as weddings- thus Three Times around the Horn, which has slang meanings.
