Just ff with the tower really close to your tc. If russia goes really aggressive, you might have to ship 7 rods (on RE it's only 6 so idk if you'd ship them) timed with the 4 huss age up, mm and dogs. Skip 5v, maybe sneak a couple vils out of your base to build houses. In fort, just ship units and push out as soon as you have enough stuff to cover your falcs.

If russia doesn't go really aggressive, but instead goes for some kind of contain or semi ff, also ff but get your 5v. You're probably gonna have to wait a bit more before you can push out with your falcs, cause russia will have more cossacks, unless you see him hitting fortress in which case you just push instantly.

I would also suggest to keep colonial militia in your deck as spain, just as a nice backup in case of aggression right before you hit fortress. Its not an ideal shipment by any means but unless you are really good with fighting with vills and handling tc/ outpost fire, you might want it as a backup, once again depending on your micro and pr. Going fortress as spain is really important in this matchup IMO since lancers are so effective vs Russian infantry. Stelets do take two hits tho, until you ship cabelleros (assuming your opponent has not shipped boyars yet).
You may want to consider training musks instead of skirms in this matchup, if you have been unable to pick off the 9 cossacks from shipments prior to that point
On a no tp map you may consider colonial play valid with a musk huss composition and get the hussar colonial cards in your deck as a way to keep any strelet/cossack mass small.
Im pr21 right now so like, kaiser is gonna have advice from more experience and skill so if you are like pr30+ you can ignore my advice haha
