Thanks for sharing, Note of caution - there is a mess going on with this blocking so if some IP range/domain is not in any list it doesn't necessary mean it is not blocked. Lists are created/updated pretty sporadically (e.g. the list does not say so but there are reports of blocked DigitalOCean nets 167.99.0.0/16 & 206.189.0.0/16 https://www.securitylab.ru/news/492749.php) . My 2 cents - once Russian Internet authorities get tired of chasing their own tail (any sysadmin knows you can't block ain't nothing by IP addresses today) they will stop this fruitless effort (but of course they cannot do it right now and lose the face) and things will be back to normal.

Russian ISPs MUST fully block all traffic to such networks. The list is frequently updated and gets automatically propagated to ISP every once in a while, failure to block any address may result in 1500eur fine.
Per day? That's a cost of doing business. Can we donate to pay it somewhere?
The infrastructure listed above is being added to the blocklist under “counter-terrorist and counter-extremist” order of the General Prosecutor Office, #27-31-2015/Id4082-15, issued in 2015 and often used for blocking an arbitrary unwanted content. The real reason for such blocking is an attempt to cut access to Telegram messenger, which refused to provide end-to-end encryption keys to the Federal Security Service (previously known as KGB).
