So I guess I am a nominalist. Or a pragmatist. Same difference. Russell's and Aristotle's form of truth would be "truth by correspondence". There is also "pragmatic truth", which has nothing to do with correpondence, it is what results when a well-defined protocol, such as a scientific experiment, is carried out. Scientific truth would then be pragmatic, such as a force is the reaction obtained when a mass is accelerated. Then there is the Christian trinity, which gives us three more faces of truth. Why stop there? The Kabala's truth. The Koran's truth. The Marxist truth. Hindu and Taoist truth. Socialist and capitalist truth. Zoroastrian truth and Bushido truth....
