More comprehensive (or complete) lists of surnames?
Welcome to Wikibooks, here are some resources you might want to use:

Kate Monk had a site called the Onomastikon. It can be found today here:

http://tekeli.li/onomastikon/

The website forebears.io covers more than half the people in the world. It has frequency statistics for just about any surname, and you can find the top 200 surnames from any given country. An example would be this page:

http://forebears.io/russia

The U.S. Census Bureau has put out a list of surnames in the U.S. from the year 2000. It breaks it down by race (White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American/Alaska Native, Hispanic, or multiracial):

https://www.census.gov/topics/population/genealogy.html

And here's the biggest book I know on first names and surnames from around the world. You can find it at Amazon: People's Names: A Cross-Cultural Reference Guide to the Proper Use of Over 40000 Personal and Familial Names in Over 100 Cultures by Holly Ingraham

You can find it on Amazon, but Wikibooks won't let me link to an Amazon page.
