I seem to recall there having been lots of russians in FLOSS. I think they have a hard time contributing because they are blocked from a lot of platforms lately. I've seen a couple of project pages with notices saying that development is indefinitely suspended because the dev has too much logistical issues. Specifically something about 2FA from ?github not being deliverable to russian phone numbers. But that can't be the whole story because you can easily enough use a TOTP app instead.
