He's not "of russian descent", he's 100% russian ethnically, both of his parents are russians, and he has russian citizenship as well, as finnish. His father was playing in Finland, brought his wife with him and Barkov was born there. Then Barkov jr ended up staying in Finland for good, got Finland citizenship and played for finnish national teams.
