The World Cup holders secured their second win (25-21, 25-15, 25-23) in three attempts in a tough pool including Brazil and the USA, who are due to meet tonight.
Maxim Mikhaylov was at the base of a clinical Russian performance, top-scoring with 15 points - two of them on serve.
Tunisia could at least celebrate the performance of Hamza Nagga. The 22-year-old has been one of the stars of the tournament so far and his 14 points against the steel-like Russia defence only boosts his reputation.
