For what was his first international goal for Germany, Leroy Sané remained compose in the penalty area to slot the ball low into the Russia net.
A great passing move down the right hand side, started by Ginter and continued in the right channel by former Arsenal man Serge Gnabry, saw Germany tear through the Russia defensive lines.
When he pulled level with the six yard box, Gnabry raised his head, and picked out Leroy Sane in the middle of the area.
Manchester City winger Sané showed the composure from his recent displays with the Premier League side, to slot home his maiden international goal.
Things would get better for Germany just before the half hour mark, as Bayern Munich defender Sule added a second goal.
A corner, floated into the box by club mate Joshua Kimmich, evaded all air-born players in the Russia penalty area.
Thus, the ball fell to the feet of Sule, somehow in a little square of space near the back post, who controlled, and then guided the ball into the far bottom corner of the goal.
And so, for all the promise Russia had shown after falling behind, the visitors own poor defending proved to be their undoing.
Stanislav Cherchesov's side would have a mountain to climb in order to recover the scoreline, and end their long wait for a win against the Germans.
