There are two Russian words which are commonly translated into English as Russians. One is ÑÑÑÑÐºÐ¸Ðµ (russkiye), which most often means ethnic Russians. Another is ÑÐ¾ÑÑÐ¸ÑÐ½Ðµ (rossiyane), which means citizens of Russia. The former word refers to ethnic Russians, regardless of what country they live in and irrespective of whether or not they hold Russian citizenship.
