The diameter of a circle is always twice the radius. Given that Russell's circle has a radius of 6 centimeters, we can calculate the diameter as follows:
\[
\text{Diameter} = 2 \times \text{Radius}
\]
Substituting the radius value:
\[
\text{Diameter} = 2 \times 6 \, \text{cm} = 12 \, \text{cm}
\]
Thus, the diameter of the circle that Russell drew is \( \boxed{12} \) centimeters.
\[
\text{Diameter} = 2 \times \text{Radius}
\]
Substituting the radius value:
\[
\text{Diameter} = 2 \times 6 \, \text{cm} = 12 \, \text{cm}
\]
Thus, the diameter of the circle that Russell drew is \( \boxed{12} \) centimeters.
