When I was studying Russian in the Air Force, our instructor invited us
over for "pirashki" (phonetic).  They were very similar to what you
describe.  You must remember that "Russia" is a huge place and has been
for hundreds of years.  Your recipe may be called one thing in the East
and another in the South and still another in the West.(Not unlike the
great BBQ debate/war between North and South - tomato- or
vinegar-based...)  You might try looking for "pierogi" as well, though I
think that is the Polish version.

Also, the size may be different.  I remember them being small - a little
larger than ravioli.  

Dosvidanya, tavarishch!
