Russian Butter??

Does anyone know what Russian butter is made of?

I buy it at the supermarket, and it says 72.5 or 80. What does this mean? That it's 72.5 butter? What is the other 27.5% ? I have asked my Russian friends about this, and they say it is 72.5% butter. and when I ask what is the other ingredient, they don't know. Also, I notice that when i keep it in the regriogerator, it has a dull, dark yellow shell on the outside and the pale, creamy yellow on the inside. What is it!? Or am i just a spoiled American, expecting the butter to be always soft?

TIA

Jim
