The Russians are very "weak" Slavs, if we look historically and genetically. The Eastern slavic medieval tribes (Krivichi, Vyatichi, Radimichi, Dregovichi) were most likely heavily influenced from Balts, to this that they were probably, originally, the Baltic tribes at the beginning, which will be later assimilated by Slavs. The ethonyms "Vyatichi" , "Radimichi" , "Dregovichi" are, according to linguists of Baltic origin, and "-ichi" is Slavic suffix. While "Krivichi" have 2 versions; Of the Slavic tribal leader named "Kriv", or of the Baltic word "Krieva" which would mean "blood".

Only Latvians. Lithuanians call it "Rusija": https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusija
Back to the topic, Balkan Slavs are true Slavs for me, just as West and East Slavs.

Slav is a culture these days not an ethnicity. All slavic speakers are true “slavs”. No one is pure ancient slavic genetically. everyone’s genes have been mixed. Northern slavs with Baltic/Finnic and us with Thracians and Illyrians
