Russian: русский or российский?

Nov 21, 2014 23:29

Hello, everyone. I'd like to ask all Russian-speaking people in this community and those who are interested in the Russian language. The question is: How would you explain to a foreigner the difference between the Russian words "русский" and "российский". Both words are translated as "Russian", but how would you explain how not to confuse them? What is your variant of their etymology and usage?

etymology, usage, russian
