eea family permit residence card

Where is your wife from? Are you both in the UK right now? Do you plan to spend more than 90 days there?

"EEA family permit" is the name the UK uses for such a visa. Nobody else uses that name.

She would need a normal Schengen visitors visa, but it would be free if you are travelling with her. http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2007/04 ... u-citizen/

she's a russian citizen.

we both want a residence permit for finland (or whatever they call it) not a tourist visa.

You first get a Schengen tourist visa to get there.

Once you arrive, then you can arrange for a Residence Card for her, assuming you qualify. What do you plan to be doing there?
