Sure it was Russian?

Are these threads by any chance related?

How about an Antonov-124. She's got 4 jetengines, is Russian and looks a bit like a (highwinged) B747!
Here's a picture of one airborne.

Brian, my guess would be that it was maybe a Bae 146. It is a high wing aircraft. You might want to go to a website called www.airliners.net, it has pictures of any aircraft you could think of. Try looking at some of the aircraft mentioned in the thread and see if any of them match what you saw???
The Bae 146 is built by British Aerospace...
