  1. I think those people in the West who don't know need to be aware of the fact that in the Russian language there are two words for "Russians". One is "Russkiye" and the other one is "Rossiyane". "Rossiyane" is used to refer to all nations living in Russia, not necessarily ethnic Russians. So, it is very close in meaning to "the citizens of Russian federation". The "Russkiye" (or also the old "Rosichi") can be used to refer specifically to the ethnic Russians, that is, the nation that has historically become the basis of the Russian Federation.
