Russo is credited with having discovered one of the most elaborate forms of the Romanian national folk ballad "Mioriţa". He was also a contributor to the Iaşi periodical "Zimbrul", in which he published one of his best-known works, "Studie Moldovană" ("Moldovan Studies"), in 1851-1852.

He also wrote "Iaşii şi locuitorii lui în 1840" "Iaşi and its inhabitants in 1840" - a glimpse into Moldavian society during the "Organic Statute" administration, and two travel accounts (better described as folklore studies), "Piatra Teiului" and "Stânca Corbului".
