i call myself Russian, because i was born and raised in Russia.
...here in U.S. i have met "Russian" people who can hardly speak the language.
and also Americans think that you are Russian even if you are Ukrainian / Kazakh / Georgian |

Have Russian citizenship, speak Russian, have Russian parents (or at least one).
I get really pissed off when someone claims to be Russian, but can't say two words in Russian. |

An English word "Russian" has two different translations into the Russian language: Россиянин (a citizen or Russia) and русский (a person belonging to an ethnic group of this name). For the first option you need a citizenship, for the second - both of your parents have to belong to this ethnic group.
Outside of Russia people who come from Russia are often called Russians because of their cultural heritage, self-identification with Russian (or ex-Soviet) culture and Russian native language.
So, your question has three correct answers, at least! |

Even if you live close to Russia or live in one of the Baltic countries, people will think you are Russian because they know nothing about European history or geography.
And if you speak Russian, they'll call you Russian. |
