I am ethnically Russian, and I have never held Russian citizenship (and have no desire to), and also have never lived there. You're just waving hands around trying to cover your *-cisms. Next you'll be telling us that Russians do not exist (you're already basically saying that). Now, who does that one remind me of, let me think... I recognize that I live in a bubble and have a small circle of friends, but neither I, nor any one of them adhere to that stereotype you've mentioned that is supposedly required to "be Russian".
