In the latter case, I'm pretty sure that (even leaving aside other mechanisms that might apply), judges and courts exist in Russia. Agreements where the parties are based indifferent countries have long been a thing, and long been enforceable by courts.
Unmasking anonymous parties, obviously, can be (though it is not always, even where it must be done) a prohibitive burden to legal action, OTOH.
