I guess it depends on what sites you want to visit using VPN. People here in Russia openly use VPN to visit Instagram etc., and no one seems to have an issue with that. But if you want to read some opposition sites, however... Now that's some gray area.

If the VPN is working then they wouldn't know if you're going to instagram or fuckrussianoppression.org tho

That ambiguity is beneficial, they can simply say you did whatever they want to say with the VPN usage as a pretext.
