Many of these people were born in Russia and moved to the US, and made their contributions in the US, while working for US companies... they all lived most of their lives in the US, so calling them Russian is a bit of a stretch, as is implying that their contributions are in any way connected to Russia...
a more appropriate term would be Russian-born American...
