Why use proxies in Russia
The Russian online market has run on domestic rails since 2022. Visa and Mastercard cards issued abroad do not work in Russian shops, checkouts rely on Mir cards and the Faster Payments System (SBP), and Google stopped selling ads in the country in March 2022. Instagram and Facebook have been blocked since the same year, so social advertising moved to VK and Telegram. Prices are in roubles (RUB) and storefronts in Russian, with delivery dates and stock changing between Moscow, St Petersburg and cities further east.
Marketplaces dominate online retail: Ozon, Wildberries and Yandex Market sell everything from groceries to electronics, Avito leads classifieds and used cars, Cian lists property, and DNS is one of the largest electronics chains online. Ozon and Wildberries also deliver to Belarus, Kazakhstan and other neighbouring markets, where the same listings are priced in local currencies. Yandex Eats covers food delivery, and Yandex Travel and Ostrovok are the usual hotel checks. VK, Odnoklassniki and Dzen carry much of the social and content advertising.
Yandex leads search and sells paid placements through Yandex Direct. Google still handles part of organic search but shows no Russian ads, so paid-search checks run on Yandex while ranking checks need both engines. Federal Law No. 152-FZ On Personal Data of 2006, tightened from 1 July 2025, requires Russian citizens' personal data to be collected into databases located in Russia, which led many sites to drop foreign analytics tools.
Advertising in Russia carries rules that change what an ad check looks for. Since 1 September 2022, online ads must be labelled as advertising, name the advertiser and carry an erid token registered in the Unified Register of Internet Advertising overseen by Roskomnadzor, and the rule covers paid posts by bloggers on VK and Telegram. Alcohol ads have been banned from almost all media since January 2013. Delivery also shapes checkout: Ozon and Wildberries run their own networks of pickup points and parcel lockers, built because reliable third-party delivery was missing in many regions, so listings show pickup at a nearby point beside courier delivery.

What teams use Russia proxies for
Market research
In Russia: Compare prices, stock and delivery dates on Ozon, Wildberries and Yandex Market, follow second-hand and car prices on Avito, and track rent and sale asking prices on Cian.
Market research proxiesSEO monitoring
In Russia: Track rankings on Yandex and Google side by side from Russia, since the two engines rank Russian-language pages differently and Yandex adds its own services, such as Yandex Market, to results.

Should I check rankings in Russia on Yandex or Google?
Both, with Yandex first. Yandex is the leading search engine in Russia and fills its results with its own services, such as Yandex Market, maps and Dzen, while Google still sends part of the organic traffic. Paid search is different: Google has sold no ads in Russia since March 2022, so ad checks happen on Yandex Direct and VK Ads. Results also vary by region, so note which city a check represents.
Which marketplaces should I monitor in Russia?
Ozon, Wildberries and Yandex Market are the three big general marketplaces, and each shows its own prices, seller discounts and delivery dates by region. Avito leads classifieds, used cars and many services, Cian covers property, and DNS is a major electronics chain. For food and travel, Yandex Eats, Yandex Travel and Ostrovok are the usual checks. Payments across them run through Mir cards and SBP rather than foreign-issued cards.
Why do marketplaces in Russia show two prices for the same product?
Ozon shows a lower price for buyers who pay with the Ozon Card from its own bank, next to the standard price, and Wildberries offers discounts tied to paying through its own wallet. A price check in Russia therefore needs to record which price it captured, since the gap between the two can change during promotions. Comparing Ozon and Wildberries on the standard price alone can misstate which one is cheaper for a regular shopper.
Does TrueProxies have residential proxies in Russia?
Yes. 67 of 72 test requests exited in Russia on October 1, 2026, from 67 IPs in Moscow, Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh on Rostelecom, PVimpelCom and Consumer Internet Cooperative PG-19. Both plans can also target a city there; GB-based plans add region and ASN targeting.

600 ms median response in our October 2026 test, timed from our gateway in the Netherlands.
Can I keep the same Russia IP address?
Yes: 2 of 2 sticky sessions kept one IP for 30 minutes in our test.
