I need a credible source for that last statement. Otherwise is both hyperbole and ludicrous to believe that Russia could survive an all-out nuclear attack. Some rural Russians might but that's about it. But Russia as a functional entity ceases to exist. Add to that, that if either the US or Russia is about to be annihilated, it pretty probable that they'll take the rest of us with them.
No evidence that this will happen if you're talking about the hypothetical civilization-ending nuclear winter (in fact very unlikely), unless you mean that both Russia and America will being targeting random cities all around the world just for funsies? Utterly moronic, why would you waste nukes on random innocent people and innocent countries instead of your adversary who is trying to make you extinct? Silly. Not to mention they simply don't have enough warheads to cause the end of the world through targeting all cities.
Go check up on the yields of the vast majority of bombs then actually plot them:
So the only way for a nuclear exchange to cause the end of the world is through the hyped up nuclear winter theory which as many smart non-political people have shown is very improbable. You can red some snippets on the controversy of the hyping up of the supposed end of the world through global thermonuclear war (perhaps its good liberal academics are lying this time) here:
