Significant but narrow — concentrated almost entirely in maritime and nautical vocabulary, imported during Peter the Great's reign (late 1600s–early 1700s) when he studied shipbuilding in Zaandam and Amsterdam and then imported Dutch shipwrights, naval terms, and administrative structure wholesale.
Core Dutch loanwords still in everyday Russian:
матрос (matros) — sailor, from "matroos"
гавань (gavan') — harbor, from "haven"
верфь (verf') — shipyard, from "werf"
флаг (flag) — flag, from "vlag"
шторм (shtorm) — storm, from "storm"
каюта (kayuta) — cabin, from "kajuit"
трюм (tryum) — hold (of a ship), from "ruim"
боцман (botsman) — boatswain, from "bootsman"
рейд (reyd) — roadstead, from "rede"
буксир (buksir) — tugboat, from "boegseren"
апельсин (apel'sin) — orange (fruit), from "appelsien"
зонтик (zontik) — umbrella, from "zonnedek" (sun deck — semantic drift, originally meant sunshade)
Outside shipping/navy, the influence is close to zero — no grammar, syntax, or phonology impact, unlike German or French, which shaped Russian elite culture and abstract vocabulary far more broadly (French especially, via 18th–19th century aristocracy).
