Can you stop being Jewish?
From the Jewish perspective, a person born to a Jewish woman is a Jew. That person can convert to a different religion and if they do, they're seen as being cut off from the Jewish Nation. However, if they choose to return to Judaism they aren't required to convert, they just have to make 't'shuvah' (repent and return to Judaism). Additionally, although there is no such thing as a Jewish race, there are regional genetic markers that are shared amongst Jews from most countries, including Europe, and other Middle Eastern non-Jewish groups.
If my grandmother was Russian am I an Ashkenazi Jew?
Being Russian does not necessarily mean being Jewish, there are Christian and Muslim Russians too. Judaism is passed down through the mother, so if your maternal grandmother is Jewish, then you are Jewish. Jewish people from Eastern Europe and Russia are generally Ashkenazi, which is a group that has certain customs (rituals, foods, songs etc.) in contrast to Sephardim (Middle Eastern or North African Jews) who have different customs. Most Jewish Russians come from Western Russia, either from Ukraine, Belarus or the areas between those countries and Moscow or St. Petersberg. Those Jews are overwhelmingly Ashkenazi. However, Jews from the Caucasus region of Russia are more often Sephardic.
