I was called a "Russellite" at someone's door, but since Russell never lived to hear the name Jehovah's Witnesses and Rutherford purged all Russell influence, "Rutherfordite" would be more accurate.
I would say that Rutherford is the epitome of the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely". I don't believe that Russell exuded so much evil.

However, after reading about how Russell treated his wife, I now consider him a total hypocrite and a cruel, manipulative bastard. His language and manner was polite, but his actions were cruel. He got rid of everybody in the movement who didn't rever him as a god. Whatever you can say about Rutherford, you at least knew where you had him. He said what he meant. Russell was a cruel, two faced hypocrite, IMO.
and you got your sources from .....?????
