You tell a really funny joke the one that doesn't laugh is probably Russian (Russians usally don't have a sense of humor). Cheers and happy last day of summer!
Facts. German's (my ancestral people) don't have much a sense of humor either. At least the Slavics have a good reason.

Well, as a Jew, I can attest to the fact that SOME Germans didn't have a sense of humor. When I was in Berlin many years ago, I found the young people to be open and friendly, but the older ones were somewhat aloof, even with one another.
Sort of. I'm Polish, so I can usually identify someone who is Polish. I would say, comparatively, Polish people have rounder faces than Russians do, even though Russians are still on the rounder side compared to others, they're still more oval than the Polish. You can see it in the nose as well. Polish people tend to have longer, pointier (though not pointy) noses, and Russians have a similar shape, but they're blunted and shorter. It's in the chin too. I don't see a whole lot of Russians with a pointed or predominant chin that juts out a bit. We do get that a lot with the Polish. And, I may be wrong in this, but I think there are some differences in body shapes. I feel like Russians have wider and longer torsos. And, although I think both are known for long legs, I think Russian legs are slender and Polish legs are more muscular.
I find it easier to tell a Polish and Russian person apart than say, a Polish person and Ukrainian.
Oh yeah. Poles are easier to tell. I grew up around lots of Poles and Ukies. You could tell them apart by which alphabet they used on the front of their Church.
Facial features of Slavic folks are too diverse to make a single statement about any group. My mother's family came from Eastern Europe, Russia, The Ukraine. I look like an average white guy. I think it would take an expert to detect the minor differences. Odd, but when I met my present wife, I knew she was Slavic, as her facial features tended toward the extreme. I soon found out her ancestry is Chzeck.
My paternal grandfather was Polish, my paternal grandmother was Russian. Mom's side both were Austrian. My father looked Italian, my mom looked Irish. I have been asked if I was Italian or German, but no one ever thinks I'm Jewish.
