This is a root ca that can issue as many unauthorized certs as they wish. It is critical that this thing is added to every other explicitly untrusted list in all OSes and Browsers, to protect millions of innocent internet users.

That's the problem. There is no "authority who approved it", beyond the Russian government agency that created the certificate. The certificate is self-signed, and users are being asked to install it manually.
If the certificate is being misused, I think it should be revoked by the authority who approved it.
