Are there any Russia-based pub servers for Scuttlebutt? Are clients configured to use these by default? Do they rely on any outside infrastructure (e.g. an authoritative DNS server located outside of Russia)?

Scuttlebutt does not come with any bootstrap nodes. You have to either get a pub invite or talk over mdns. Manyverse (a mobile client) also let's you coordinate connections with friends over the kademlia DHT. Most pubs do use DNS for their addresses.
