Someone needs to run the experiment. Move to some place in Russia outside the Moscow metropolitan area. Apply to Gitlab. If you get the job, relocate to San Fran. See if your pay quadruples.

I feel like GitLab is one of the few places where this would happen. They have a salary calculator that's basically just band * CoL * performance in band[0].

GitLab was rumoured to be suspending hiring in Russia and China, but I can't see a reference to it on their page. They ban seemingly random countries [0] like Sweden, while allowing hires in Australia, wonder what their rationale is.
