Here, the word 'Rusů' does not appear directly, but the context is similar. If we wanted to describe the group possessive or related to them, 'Rusů' would be applicable. However, this sentence uses 'Rusy' (accusative plural), which changes the focus slightly.

The monuments of the Russians testify to their rich history.
