I think it's actually a bit more specific than that.

I'm not a native Russian speaker, but to my recollection the normal word for Russian (Russian language, Russian people, Russian beer) is:

русский
русская
русское

Note that there are 3 genders in Russian: masculine, feminine, neuter.

And this is only in the nominative case.

The word for Russia as an entity is Россия, so it looks to me like your adjective means pretty much solely "having to do with the entity of Russia itself." So it could refer to "Russian newspaper," but only if it's referring to the newspaper for Russia, not generally a Russian-language or Russian-ethnic newspaper.

Any better Russian speakers, feel free to correct or comment on my what I've said.

As far as appraisal, I'll leave that to someone else.
