Many Tor nodes are blocked in Russia,

so you may need to use a bridge. The bridges bundled directly
into Tor Browser are also blocked. Therefore you will need to
get a working bridge by one of the following methods:

-Send a message to the Tor Telegram bot @GetBridgesBot (type /bridges)

-Request a bridge from within Tor Browser (
this is called the "moat" method)

-Send an email to ***@torproject.org (leave the email subject empty
and write get transport obfs4 in the email message body; you must send
the email using an address from Riseup or Gmail; bridges distributed
by email are less likely to be blocked)

I today tried to set my Exit Node to Russia, it worked fine, so at
least the traffic going out of TOR Exit Nodes and to them isn't being
blocked.
