It's really hard to say, because you don't understand who "Russian people" really are. Russia is a multi-national country. There are so many very different nations with different religion, culture and ancestry.
Ethnic Russians (like me) are just a part of the Russian citizens. There are
Tatars,
Finno-Ugric peoples,
Kalmyks,
Buryats,
Peoples of the Caucasus,
Ukrainians,
Belarusians,
Jews and many-many others.
So do you speak about Russians as an
ethnic group or about Russia as a
country?
