    1) you have southern slavic vibe, thats why they may think you re from southern russia/ukraine; sometimes they can look like you
    2) they might see you as kavkaz person; there are lots of kavkaz people in Russia, especially in big cities, and russians are quite racist towards them.

    You need to know some history/ethimology. “Churka” is derivative from “turk” (тюрк), because of substitute t->č (linguistic law and adaptation roughly) it has become “churka” in Russian and originally referred to someone of the turkic origin (not necessarily just turkish but several related peoples). Because of the wars and conflicts with turkic nomads (tatar-mongolians, Osman empire etc) and their forays it had a hostile/negative connotation. Now these days are gone and for us it just means someone from the Caucasus or Asia. I advice not to dwell on it too much as it happens between all peoples. Ukrainians call us, Russians “katsapy”, we call them “khokhly”, the English call the French “frogs”, who they call “beefsteaks” etc. Its human, take it easy and don’t take offense! Self-irony helps too. Generally we like our “churkas” in Russia.

    What do you imply? For russians i also look Kavkaz and I experienced racism because of that, so i know first hand. Actually they use that word “churka” for all - kavkaz people, central asians, arabs etc

    Most likely you are simply suffering from paranoia. I don’t think that Russian tourists or anyone else would stare at you.
