That's a difficult question - i don't have experience outside of Russia so no idea what is unique and what isn't.

It is harder to get funds from foreign clients, primarily because customers are wary of paying money to a russian company (because of hackers and scammers, i think). But you can solve it by registering a US company.

There is a "local market" trap: Russian market is obviously smaller than US one, but still large enough to be considered as a viable single option. That's why many russian companies go solely for the russian market, and that's why companies from Belarus or Ukraine (where local market is not large enough) are often focused on US/Europe from the start.

As for the recent events, I am not a fan, and hope that the situation resolves peacefully.
