Russian Orthodox Church follows the Julian Calendar, so its Christmas is 13 days later and it is celebrated on January 7 (which is an official holiday in Russia). Other Christians in Russia (catholics, Lutherans, Mormons etc., except for Armenian Christians) celebrate Christmas on December 25th. Armenians celebrate it on January 6th, I believe.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_worldwide#Russia "Christmas celebration in Russia is on the 7th of January (which corresponds to December 25 in the Julian Calendar)."

Only if they are Catholic. If they are Eastern Orthodox, they celebrate on Epiphany (January 6th).
