That is probably because you mostly play British and they are one of the few matchups where Russia does well.
In general, lets look at Russia in different MU's.
Aztec - they have more mass early on, Russia can't really fb, Aztec usually win this MU.
Sioux - it is a hard MU for Russia on RE, on EP Sioux are buffed so Sioux are favoured.
Iroquois - not quite sure because they are an unpopular civ, but I saw Iro win in both colonial and fortress.
Spain - quite close, with new lancer cards I'd say Spain is favoured.
Portugal - Port favoured.
France - France favoured, France was buffed and Russia was nerfed.
Germany - German favoured in both age 2 and age 3.
Britain - close/Russia favoured depeding on the map.
Dutch - close/Russia favoured, not quite sure.
Ottomans - Otto favoured.
India - India favoured.
China - Russia favoured.
Japan - Russia favoured.
So we have 2-5 MU's that Russia can realistically win with same skill level. It's not much.
Also @Goodspeed, you have rated Russia as the worst civ in your guide, did you change your opinion so much?
pretty much this yea
