Sushki are traditional Russian snacks made from sweet dough, shaped into small rings. They consist of flour, eggs, water, sugar, and salt. The name sushki is derived from the Russian word sushit, meaning to dry, referring to the rock-hard texture of these rings
Pirozhki is one of the most popular Russian dishes, often sold as street food, although it can also be made at home. The pocket-sized, oval-shaped pirozhki are yeast dough buns stuffed with a variety of ingredients such as fresh fruits, jams, and cottage cheese for the sweet varieties, or meat, eggs, vegetables, fish, and rice for the savory versions.
Pastila is a traditional Russian sweet originating from the 17th century. It is a cross between candy and meringue cookies: light and airy puffs made from egg whites, sugar, and fruit, reminiscent of the popular Turkish Delight.

I made a huge pot of Borscht last week - basically cabbage/beet/potato/carrot/onion in a light tomato veggie broth.
Also made faux beef / mushroom Stroganoff. More meals than snacks.

I've made cashew cream but an easy as delicious sour cream substitute is Kite Hill brand vegan onion dip, or any cashew based yoghurts
have you tried making Almond ricotta? It's easy and a good substitute, albeit an Italian food hack and not Russian one

I went to the USSR in 1986.
The food we got was pretty terrible, and we were staying in one of the nicest hotels in Leningrad. (They place we stayed at in
Moscow looked like the Oakland City Jail, so it was no surprise that the food there sucked).
Thankfully we were able to get plenty of vodka and Heineken. It was pretty weird being able to walk into a store
and buy a shitload of booze, no problem, at age 16, 5 years before I would be able to buy it legally in the US.

I've been to the Russian Tearoom in NYC once. Had a friend in HS whose dad had a case of real Vodka from Rusa that his dad got from I think the Embassy in DC and he stole a bottle and it was smooooth. No gag effect at all.

My brother RIP was in Rusa in I think 1978 on a HS COPLECS class trip. I remember he said some guy brought some hash.
I might have misspelled COPLECS. But I guess it was a class on Russian history or politics?? Most likely politics or both.
