Russian is an/the official language in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Moldova, and Romania, and spoken in yet other parts of the world. If Russian was only spoken within the borders of Russia, then tailoring the articles to that country's censorship laws would be pragmatic - at least they'd get something about marijuana smoking.
But I think the significant number of Russian-speakers outside Russia kind of obliges us to just write good NPOV articles and let the Russian authorities do what they want.
