The south- southwestern edge of Russell overlaps the larger edge of the crater also lavagefluteten Struve, so that the two craters together result in the form of an eight (8). East of Russell Briggs is the crater and in the southeast the lava-filled remains of Eddington.

Because many smaller meteorite impacts that overlap the wall, the edge of Russell is irregularly shaped. Briggs A. The largest of them is the north are numerous small craters.
