How does one go about properly making Russian food?

I'm very much interested, but want it as authentic as possible. The only restaurant here is just some hipster hole-in-the-wall that's only Russian-style. The closest I can get to some authentic pelminis is this food cart that resides in the sketchy part of town, but those guys come and go like the wind (the last Russian food cart closed without warning). The Russian bakeries here only sell canned and jarred foods, and teas, from eastern European; and all they make is bread, as well pickling anything that isn't nailed down. And finally, the only Russian friend I had blocked me for stalking her. So I'm at a bit of a loss here, and don't really trust Google on this. Also, Heil Hitler.
