Does not specifically need to be Russia, good practice is to use a VPN that has an audited no-log policy and is out of the jurisdiction of the 14 Eyes.
The 14 eye concept is public knowledge. That is what us plebs are allowed to know. So, in theory, I am sure the 14 have their hands in just about every country to a degree. 100% anonymity is very difficult to achieve. But getting as close as you can to that 100 mark is the goal.

I do not recommend Russian VPS. Half of internet could appear to be blocked due to censorship laws.
