russia is a very big country, spanning from european russia to siberia/mongolia (asia side) also encompassing the white arctic to the black sea region. Thus it has people of different races intermixed as well and not exactly pure like TS say (but somehow different ethnic groups tend to stay in one region). The type you mentioned that looks caucasian (but somehow not) are the native Slavic race people whom mostly reside in the european side of russia (e.g. moscow, st petersburg). probably due to the genes, lifestyle and climate, these slavic ladies have traits like tall, good complexion, fair skin and slim in general.
the living standards in certain parts of russia are quite poor so there is the problem of widespread prostitution, but bear in mind that this is also the case for eastern european ladies as well (also slavic looks from former russian colonies like poland, ukraine, estonia etc) and surprisingly it is usually these eastern european ladies that are smuggled overseas for prostitution and in order to increase their 'value' the are told to introduce themselves as 'russian' instead. So I believe those girls touted as pure russians (to increase the wow factor) someone mentioned can be found in geylang may not be exactly authentic and might be eastern european ladies in disguise.
So next time before pay money must see birth certificate and passport to ensure genuine good is it?
