Hi, all!   
      
   If we use the people's nation name in the multiple form, should we use "the"?   
      
   I thought that "the French" are people of France, but Russians, Americans are   
   people from Russia and the US, and these names are used without article "the".

   ....   
   Before today, the stores on the ISS were good until October. The Russians will   
   now have another go at re-stocking the 400km-high space lab next Friday, and   
   there will be an enormous amount riding on that flight as a consequence.
