An idol is a physical things such as a painting or statue which people regard as being divine and is worshipped. Russian Orthodox Christians do not worship idols; they worship only God. They often use religious paintings, called icons, when they pray. Traditionally, an icon is painted on wood and only after the artist has spent a great deal of time in prayer to seek God's guidance. For Orthodox Christians, icons are "windows into heaven" and represent the person who has been painted, but the icon is not worshipped. Probably the main Russian Orthodox icons would be of Christ and His Mother, Mary the Theotokos (God-bearer).

Is worshipping Ganesha idol an idol worship?

The sentence speaks for itself - worshipping an ganesha idol is worship of an idol, because the statue itself is the object of veneration. However, worship of the god Ganesha through use of a statue or 'idol' of Ganesha need not be seen as idol worship. Many Christians pray before statues of saints and even of Jesus, but would never consider this to be idol worship.
