Russian dressing is made with a milk fat based foundation of either mayonnaise or yogurt (sometimes sour cream) but most authentically yogurt. It sometimes include horseradish and a variety of spices. Historically, Russian dressing included an aspic or gelatin to
create a velvety consistency.
Thousand Island dressing is very much like Russian dressing, but it is prepared with mayonnaise and ketchup with the addition of small bits and pieces of pickles, peppers and onions.
Both are subject to individualization so whatever you might like to add to the base ingredients of a milk fat/oil based foundation is perfectly acceptable. Truth is, if you used Thousand Island dressing on a Reuben you probably wouldn't be accused of heracy.
