Russian Orthodox chruch is part of the Orhtodox Cannon, the oldest form of Christianity. The Church is part of the same group that includes the Greek, Armenian and other ORthodox Churchs.

The only difference between the Russian and other Orthodox churches is their primary language, and other non-christian traditions like dances, prominant festivals, or supersticions.

But as far as the rest of Christianity goes, the Orthodox's main difference is a unique date for Easter, their ties with the old testament, and their more strict christian lifestyle adhering to more fast days then any other sect of Christianity.

It depends on which 'Orthodox' you are referring to. "Orthodox" simply means someone who is very strict in their religious observance. There are 'orthodox' in almost every religious group. "Orthodox Christians" usually refers to the eastern European Christian churches including the Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox, among others. There are also Orthodox Jews. There are even some that you could call Orthodox Mormons, although they tend to belong to the main body of the church rather than splitting off into their own group.

What is the difference between orthodox church and the Christian church?

The main difference between Orthodox chruch and Christian church is that the orthodox chruch believe they would go to heaven if they do the ten commandments but that was in Old Testament. Jesus Christ came, died for our sins, and changed that. In the New Testament, it is written that we shall get in heaven if we believe and get baptized in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. It is written in the bible that work without faith is nothing. And doing all the ten commandments is good but work without believing is nothing.
