Russian refers to anything that originates from Russia, including its people, as well as the Russian language.
During the Cold War on Earth, Americans referred to these people by the derogatory term "Russkies". (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Pavel Chekov and his alternate reality counterpart tended to (often incorrectly) attributed inventions and works of art to Russians. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?", "The Trouble with Tribbles", Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Star Trek Beyond)
Several Russian characters were featured in the Julian Bashir, Secret Agent holoprogram (DS9: "Our Man Bashir"), including Anastasia Komananov, which Vic Fontaine used to create the singer "Lola Chrystal" in 2374, though it took him an hour to get rid of her Russian accent. (DS9: "His Way")
