Not all russian use the .ru domain (most do). You can't block a specific region/country outright without causing some false positives.

Whats the reason for blocking russian sites? How about just don't visit them?

to literally block all .ru domains: add to custom filters

Code: Select all

||ru^
(note that's a "slow filter"...)

BTW I actually tried to use ABP to block entire TLDs once, and it turned out to be just completely useless and getting in my way.
