Hello,
With the recent "cripple" of the ruble I bought a few Russian VPSes hoping for a sweet, cheap barging. But you don't half get what you pay for.
I found this nice deal http://vds.menu/vds.php?id=525 for just 58Rubles thats around a dollar. I was aiming to use it as a cheap VPN but there was no Tun/Tap or PPP support.
Hmm, was next going to use it as a cheap CDN server so I ran a test on it. Sadly the petabyet token had expired before it had finished the test (facepalm)

Personally dont buy from them, very very slow and limited CPU and no VPN support.
