You are so right on this! I know many russians too and you can, indeed, speak about communities.
They are often kept fresh, because of satelity television, so the children will learn RUssian too.
In old days, when school was not a common privilige, I can imagine that people in a diaspora , were much more isolated and just copied the language of their parents.
Religion will add to that, because of social relations to people in the same community and the liturgy must be a cause to remind to the original language.
They, in Turkey, were separate groups even until 1915, where Syrian and Kurdic and Armenian people lived in South Turkey and they all had they own language.
