has nothing to do with Russia. I did not realize that churches held on to their ties to the country of the ancestors of the members so long (presumably many generations for most members) after the founding of the church. This is something new to me. Do members of Lutheran Churches have to understand German? Do people have to be of German/African-American/Polish, whatever descent to join a church like that?
And don't tell me about Judaism. You can convert to Judaism. Many have. And Jewish people vary with regard to the extent of their beliefs about Israel.
