Answer

These might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Russian_origin http://www.translationdirectory.com/glossaries/glossary196.htm

the ones that I recognize from that list are: Cosmonaut, gulag, molotov cocktail, soviet, mammoth, babushka, pavlova, luna, tsar/tsarina, and of course vodka ;)

Answer
