Note
An ordinary -s plural that gathers several kinds of people at once: citizens of Russia, members of the East Slavic people native to Russia, and, in a usage now obsolete, anyone from the Soviet Union. Context decides which is meant. The language never takes this form because it is uncountable, so you speak Russian, not Russians. A breeder, though, can count two Russians of the cat breed.
