This is a mispronounced Russian word for "Russian". At list that is what I hear in the Hollywood movies.

It should be spelt "rooskii" to sound right (Русский). It is also of male gender. "ruski" male - "roosskaia" female.

Someone here wrote that "genueine" Russian surnames usually end with "ski". That is actually not true. Majority of those ending with "ski" are _Jewish_ and Polish (that is where most of the Jews settled originally when they ran centuries ago from Israel - Poland and Ukrane).

Russian surnames usually end with "ov", "ev" or "in" (for males) - like Putin and Medvedev or Gorbachev, and "ova" and "ina" for females. Like Kurnikova or Sharapova.

The remark someone made about Russians being short tempered and killing anyone who calls them ruski - is rubbish.

There are a lot of non-Russian ethnicities living in Russian Federation ( members of mafia too). Those who live around and up in Caucasus mountains (Chechnya, Georgia, Armenia etc.) and who look like Italians and Greeks - have much shorter temper than Russians. They have "pride" and can kill for it like Sicilians would. Stalin (real name Djugashvili) for example was Georgian (this is just to explain why he did not look like Russian, but not to say that all Georgians are bad or anything like that). A lot of those ethnicities are actually smarter than an average drinking Russian (contrary to what was said here). And who knows what is going to happen if you call a Chechen - "hey ruski !"
