I always thought reform but maybe I'm wrong.

Reform has to do with what level of religious observance they are at. Reform, orthadox, etc. Nationality does not affect that. Russian and Polish are just part of Eastern European peoples. It's not a category by itself at all. Romanians are part of that eastern group too. There are Spanish Jews called Sephardic and all others, called Ashkenasi.

Rahowa is racist and misinformed.
As previously stated, Jews from Russia and Poland are Ashkenazi. Many people in the East of Europe converted to Judaism in the distant past (not sure when, exactly), so people who are Ashkenazi Jews today might be descended from these converts, so are not true 'semites', as it were, in the sense that a semitic person comes genetically from the middle east.
Those Jews from Spain and the middle east are Sephardic, and have traditions that differ in terms of language pronunciation and foods.
