What is the grammatical gender of the word for "grandfather" in Russian? I was reading about grammatical gender online and I came across this statement: "The Russian word for ‘grandfather’ is feminine." As far as I know the words for "grandfather" or "grandpa" are masculine. Am I missing anything?

No, whatever your source says, the word for 'grandfather' is masculine in Russian, besides the fact that the word 'дедушка' ends in a vowel. It is masculine simply because 'дедушка' is a man. :) - Мой дедушка добрый. - Моя бабушка добрая. - Мой папа умный. - Моя мама умная. - Мой друг классный. - Моя подруга классная.

You are right, 'grandfather' is masculine. 'МоЙ старЫЙ дедушка'

Como ya te dijeron, la palabra "дедушка" es masculina, pero como se termina en A, se comporta de manera igual a la de las palabras femininas, quiero decir se declina del mismo modo. Puedes comparar 2 palabras: дедушка и тётя: - Я люблю (своего) дедушкУ. - Я люблю (свою) тётЮ. - У (моего) дедушкИ есть собака. - У (моей) тётИ есть собака. etc Pero como puedes verlo, los adjetivos o demonstativos se usan según el género real (del sexo en este caso).
