Your proposed solution sounds like overkill, considering how little personal
information is stored by the BOINC databases.
You are broadly right about elites and 'in country operation', this business
realpoltick seems almost eternal.
There are no easily reached Russia based BOINC projects, so no experts can
be contacted ... ironically there is a BOINC project in Ukraine.
A boffin at the RU Academy of Sciences, that has had a chance to read the
law ... probably would recommend almost no changes.
(Login Information + Computer Information < > Personal Information)
-- A lot of BOINC Computer Information has nothing to do with the work units
per se, or how they are managed ...
-- Login information has to have some minimal complexity to allow for logins
at all, save for storing IPs not much other data is personally trackable ...
-- if you have [on the whole] less than maybe 5 to 10 records of account
information that probably does not count
-- diagnostic usable information is not necessarily personal information

PS :
As Kiev, Ukraine is so close to Vienna (a rat's nest of spys since 1945),
its problems may not be coming from the East. If this is the case, its
problems will take some time to resolve. I blame the whole crisis on the
lack of a decent ionspheric plasma display like the famous one in Norway
(Sweden? Finland?) on the YouTube that happened some years back.

A long time ago, somewhere I read that the key to doing business
successfully in a foreign country is to find out what the elites are trying
to accomplish there and then do business in a way that helps them to
accomplish it, as long, I suppose, you can do that without violating your
own important cultural values.
Someone could contact the Russian ambassador and ask him/her what Russia
really wants, or ask Rastimer to contact his Duma representative to see what
it wants. If all Russia wants is to have the sanctions lifted, we may have
to wait until the Ukraine situation is clearer.
In any case, how hard could it be to ask one of the Russian universities to
host a duplicate of the information on all Russian participants?

Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] How much will this -- or any upcoming EU bans
on personal data -- affect BOINC project databases ... that don't
really store but a fragment ...
At first glance I find the article pretty ambiguous in its attempt to
translate the Russian law into English. E.g. it first speaks of
"Internet
companies" (which BOINC or BOINC projects certainly aren't), and later
about "Websites". "personal date" is also unspecified.
Does someone on this list has access to the actual law text and can
provide a more precise translation?
Best,
Bernd
