DARK RUSSIAN: "Equal Parts of Vodka and Kahlua. Fill with Chocolate Milk. Rocks." (from Mark Swain)
WHITE RUSSIAN: Equal parts vodka and Kahlua. Add (cream/half and half/milk). Rocks.
I think they're high on crack though.
This ass-hat has an intersting recipe:

THE BEST GODDAMN WHITE RUSSIAN EVER
1 Shot Kahlua
1 1/2 Shots Bailey's Irish Cream
1 Shot Vodka
1 Shot Half-and-Half or Light Cream
2 Shots Milk
1/2 Shot Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon French Vanilla Ice Cream
Pour over ice in shaker and give it a couple of spins until the ice cream is blended.
Variation - The Best Goddamn Dark Russian Ever
Substitute two teaspoons chocolate syrup for vanilla extract, put in an extra shot of milk, and leave out the ice cream.
So my extremely limited research indicates that the addition of chocolate is what makes it a "Dark Russian."
