Russia is a very strong contender for the title of "Best at Chess", yes.

Some of the republics that border the Russian Federation and used to be part of the USSR (before 1991) are also very strong at chess... Azerbaijan, for example. 

Other countries that were never part of the Soviet sphere? China and India have made very impressive progress as chess nations, and both now have a good crop of top GMs. So does USA.

Best in the world? Probably Russia.

I would say a little bit more, but I am in Asia, so I'm not complaining.

 

It said country though.

Why do you say Russia and Germany, and then link to a post that shows those countries 30th and 34th respectively? Also, that data is 10 years old. Here's an updated list:
