To sign the word “Russian,” make a fist with your dominant hand and repeat the motion of brushing the back of your fist across your chin twice. This mimics the two letters in the word “R” and “U.” Then, extend your index finger and tap it twice on your non-dominant hand, which represents the letters “S” and “I.” Finally, with both hands in a fist, cross your wrists as if locking them together to represent the final two letters “A” and “N.”
