Hmm, that's tough.
When my Hubby went to Ukraine a few years ago with a men's missionary construction group, he spent one day visiting a school for deaf kids there. Our deaf friend went with him. The hearing Ukrainian teacher spoke to the hearing interpreter, who translated into spoken English. Then, Hubby interpreted into American PSE for our deaf friend. Long process.
The teachers explained that the children were not allowed to learn or use sign language until high school. For elementary school the emphasis was oral. The only "accommodations" they had were headsets that plugged into their desks.
The poor kids had bare asphalt for a playground (no play equipment). Their classroom didn't even have a globe. They didn't even understand that the earth was round.
Anyway, we have other missionary friends in Ukraine now, and they minister to hearing and deaf people.
I don't know how the situation is in Russia. I do know a contact at Silent Word Ministries who manages the international missionaries to the deaf, including Siberia and Russia. Maybe he can get you a contact.
This is his email, if you're interested:

p.s. Did you know about the World Championship of Martial Arts of Deaf Athletes in Moscow?
p.s. These are Ukraine, not Russia, but maybe they have contacts:
