The Russians fell behind early against Iceland but wrapped up the win, thanks predominantly to Alexei Rastvortsev, who scored 10 goals from 16 shots.
They will now face France, who were 27-22 winners over Germany in their final group game.
The French and Croatia are the only sides to go into the knockout stages with an unbeaten record.
