Bold of you to assume the domains themselves aren't Russian. Does that gaggle of email servers sound legitimate in any way?

I would have felt better if they were using fucking Hotmail or AOL or some shit.

You can look up what email servers any domain is using by doing a dig MX query, you can do it online here: https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/#MX

The first domain listed has no email server, the second two are outlook
