Essentially no difference... they're both similarly doctored mayo... I
don't care much for either. Perhaps the similarity connection is based
somewhere in the fact that sturgeon are plentiful in the St. Lawrence
Seaway, especially around the Thousand Islands area.

Russian dressing
Actually American in origin, this salad dressing includes mayonnaise,
pimiento, chili sauce (or ketchup), chives and various herbs. Some
think that the "Russian" title comes from the fact that earlier
versions of this dressing contained CAVIAR, for which Russia has long
been famous.

Thousand Island dressing
A MAYONNAISE-based salad dressing made with CHILI SAUCE and finely
chopped ingredients such as stuffed green olives, green peppers,
pickles, onions and hard-cooked egg. Thousand Island dressing is also
sometimes used as a sandwich spread.
