That said, now is obviously not the best time to go to Russia, if for no other reason because of covid and potential issues with payments, etc. I'd already put off a 2022 launch for a trip planned since 2020 because of covid, but right now am not sure when or if I'll return to Russia--not because I think I'll be detained, but because I don't especially want to go there any more...

Can you really see a Nato citizen getting a Russian Visa now ? If not a NATO ban, certainly a ban from US and UK after the sanctions being drawn today.
Even if you could, Ukraine and Russia are now going to be on the Government red lists for the foreseeable future. So there goes any travel insurance you may require.
