If "they" is the airline, then physically show them the Russian passport: they don't record this information, they only need to see it to confirm that they won't have to fly you back (for free?) to your departing location. If border control (again: by flying), simply saying "my flight is to the UK" works.

Narva is a pedestrian and car crossing. EU has a border with Russia/Belarus.

FYI in many places (not everywhere, rarely in Europe) border control will look at your boarding pass too.
