Hi, Mari May, it occurred to me that you may need an explanation of "native speaker" in English.

You are a "native speaker" of Russian. In other words, Russian is your "mother tongue",

The word "native" in English refers to something that a person has grown up with. I think that you are a "native Russian" and that Russia is your "native country" and that the language of Russian is your "native language".

I hope that this has helped.

A "native speaker" es un "hablante nativo" - una persona que ha estado expuesta al idioma al que se refiere desde su nacimiento, y lo habla fluidamente.

Yo soy un hispanohablante nativo, y además hablo fluidamente el inglés. Sin embargno, no me considero un angloparlante nativo.
