I will say though that in the game, they specifically target the Russian Mafia moreso than simply random Russians since they are a very powerful organized criminal organization within the game's universe and have strong political connections within America among other reasons. They also solely operate within the US rather than going out of their way to carry out mass murder within Russia.

Since they are heavily patriotic, it does seem that they are driven by American pride rather than going out of their way to, well, exterminate an entire race. I'm mostly leaning towards them counting as a more serious case of xenophobes, but the fact that they manage to instigate a war with Russia coupled with mass murder is what had thinking that they could be genocidal.
