That should only extend to those who are willing to assimilate and identify as members of the country they are living in. Immigrants should not expect the land they're moving into to accommodate to them, it should be the other way around. If you choose to move to a new country, you have made a concious, voluntary decision to either resist the way of life in that country or adjust to it.Another important note: the border drawn between the Ukrainian SSR and Russian SSR was completely arbitrary. The problem could also be solved by shifting the borders so that the lands populated by ethnic Russians and that speak solely Russian and identify exclusively as Russian be included as part of Russia. However, I think changing borders would not only be rejected angrily by the people organizing and participating in Euromaidan, but also be even more unfair than giving Russians incentive to leave.

Additionally, perhaps culturally they should make some effort to assimilate, but their political ideology should not have to change. That defeats the point of democracy.
