Do you mean russian tumblers or?
There are several varieties of performing birds from Russia so just saying Russian Rollers needs to be clarified.
I have Galati Rollers that are from Romania, imported recently.

The galati rollers can be deep I have one in my kit that is 60'+ They are great kitters but a bit tough to get on the wing I have to take them away from the kit box and toss them for a few days.
I Have them with nazel crests and with out. All are a mix of red and white. I have one bellneck marked bird that is smaller then any Birmingham I own and she is a fast spinner but not as deep.
But with any performing breed you get the good ones and the bad ones. I am still learning about this breed so it is a fun project thats for sure.
Thisroll, The russian roller you are describing is not one I am familier with. I have had rollers that were so frequent that they could not go further then the roof.

There was a guy that was here a year or so ago that called himself the "Russian Roller"! He was going to cross BRs and PRs and several other breeds and start his own breed. He was young and I think someone was misleading him on how things work. His plan was to make it big and sell lots of birds.
Could this posibly be what your hearing about? Thought he might be advertising his birds somewhere.
Where did you here about these "Russian Rollers? Just curious!

I saw Armenians in the sky , they're good flyers but only flippers, I'm nearly sure don't exist Russian Rollers . In Russia is impossible to drive around freely visiting lofts......
