Why do you think so? If Russell is right that Jesus existed but he was only a run of the mill Jewish apocalyptic preacher , contemporary historians might very well not know of him or didn't find him important enough to write about.
You would have a point against Christians who claim that Jesus' life was truly extraordinary, but not someone like Russell who said that Jesus might very well exist but was not particularly remarkable.
