out of 4 Russian sounding last names, 2 are Latvian citizens, born there in 87 and 89. Latvia got separated somewhen during 89-91. Considering the situation with Russians in Baltic states, these guys are most probably not "Latvians", yet they are probably noticeably different from "Russians" (similarly to children of many Russian immigrants in US).

Five:

- ALEXSEY BELAN: Belan has Russian citizenship and is known to hold a Russian passport

- PETERIS SAHUROVS: Sahurovs is thought to be in Rezekne, Latvia. He may also visit Kiev, Ukraine

- ARTEM SEMENOV: Semenov speaks both Russian and English, although his English may not be that good. He tends to stay close to Russian communities.

- ALEXANDR SERGEYEVICH BOBNEV: Bobnev has a Russian Passport and has ties to Russia.

- ANDREY NABILEVICH TAAME: Taame speaks both English and Russian. He holds a Russian passport and Russian citizenship.

Taame born in Siria, the last name isn't Russian, very frequently it would mean that his father was some Sirian guy (named Nabil or Nabeel [an Arabian male name] as Russian middle names are given base on the name of the father) sent for education, civilian or military, to USSR who married and brought back a Russian girl.

Given that he has russian (slavic) first name that sounds plausible.
