Just to be clear, it's not for me (I have FB Platinum), it's for a friend who lives there.
Total joke is 2XP for all intra-Russia flights.... which leaves those in Russia with no real choice but to stick to Aeroflot Bonus.
Collecting segments or miles for Bonus status, beware of strange rules for certain fares on AFKL. X fares are excluded for some strange reason, and this makes it a problem for a number of AF and now for some KL bookings. However, AFKL can modify your ticket into a next class for free within 24 hours of booking (only small fare difference payable), if you occasionally booked X class in economy.
And most cheap Alitalia tickets are excluded.
