Since Russia, is a very big country many Russians have a lot of ethnicity. Remember the bigger the country, the more ethnicities. Most Russian people are Slavic, those are the people living in European Russia. The place where the Nazis invaded. Eastern Russia (Asian Russia) and Chechnya is where it's all at. There are Mongols, most of them are the Russian Buddhists. They are known as "Buryats". There are also the Yakuts. In far-eastern Russia, those are Korean-Russians and Japanese-Russians. Those are people of Japanese and Korean descent, they don't look like typical "Russians". Chechens, are a Turkic group, not Slavic. If you notice, Chechens have Arab names but they use them Russian style. So it's easy to distinguish.

For example, a person from an Arab country would have a name like Ahmed bin-Omar. But a person from Chechnya would have a name like Akhmad Omarov or Akhmed Omarovich.
