Russian is supposed to have pimento but not the other stuff. Interestingly, Russian Salad (said to have been invented by French chef Olivier in his Moscow restaurant) does have the pickle and similar ingredients, but the dressing for it isn't made separately.

In Sanct-Petersburg no holiday meal is completed without a huge bowl of what we call "Olivier". IT probably has nothing to do with the original recipe, but the name survived. -- And what are we doing when the two most powerful nations on earth -- America and Israel -- stomp on the elementary rights of human beings? -- letter to the editor from W.

While I have a substantial stack of books on Russian, Ukranian, Lithuanian and Polish cooking I don't recall if I learned it from them or from some more general source. I did, however, know about its holiday importance. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
