From my experience yes and no.
Based on the type of work we conduct, and the companies or people we cooperate with, no one is on the black list. However the banking system has made it difficult to make payments to companies and people who either reside or have a bank account in RU.
I am relying on a form of Hawala, where I fund a third party, and they in turn make arrangements to pay (release funds) to the intended beneficiary. It's legal but requires trust.
