      Handsome and beautiful do not mean the same thing. This sentence should be accepted as "The beautiful boy is Russian."

      Handsome would be better translated into Romanian by "chipeș "

      John Lennon had a song "Beautiful Boy", about his little child. Beautiful should be accepted here

        Beautiful is feminine grammatically, handsome is masculine.

        In English there are no "gramatically feminine or masculine" words.
