Before you can conclude that your swarm bees are Russian you'll have to figure out where they came from. That can be difficult! If one of your neighbors keeps Russians and lost a swarm at the same time you caught yours and oh by the way the queen is marked and the queen in the swarm you caught is marked - then you can probably conclude that the swarm you have is Russian. BUT - most of the time you'll never have that type of information and while it can make for fun speculation, you'll never know for sure what genetics you have acquired.
