The dish I remembered was not Russian it seemed like the modern Stroganoff but it had garlic.  I will tend to think that ut was Arabic.

I'm not aware of anything that resembles stroganoff in my very sketchy
survey of period foods...

Adding sour cream to dishes such as a beef stew does seem to be
characteristic of MODERN Russian cooking. I don't recall anything
of this sort in the few sources I've been able to find for PERIOD Russian
cooking--- that would be cooking by the Byzantine Orthodox and later
Russian Orthodox that constituted the majority of the population in
Rus and the neighboring areas that later became Russia, Phlip.

There's certainly no reason in Christian cuisine not to mix milk and meat
(in fact as I recall not mixing milk and meat could get a converso Jew
inquisited in Spain). But I can't think of any examples.

Adding sour cream is also characteristic of some German dishes, though, I
think-- try German cookbooks.
