Traveling from russia, nz visa

Hi everone,
I am from moscow in Russia i was looking to travel to Nz. I heard that it is simple to get a visa for NZ, if you are German. My question is it as easy to get if you are german or russians? Is there a stigma that makes it hard for russians to get a visa? I am applying for a toursit visa.

It makes no difference what country you come from.
Each application for a tourist visa is is checked over and the visa issued if the criteria has been followed.
