Why do you think it's legal? It's copyrighted material being distributed without the permission of the copyright owner. You don't just get to decide that it's okay because it works better for you. You really ought to provide a link showing it's legal outside of Russia. Even allofmp3 doesn't claim that:
The user bears sole responsibility for any use and distribution of all materials received from AllOFMP3.com. This responsibility is dependent on the national legislation in each user's country of residence. The Administration of AllOFMP3.com does not possess information on the laws of each particular country and is not responsible for the actions of foreign users.

I'd love to hear your rationale for why this is okay but grabbing MS Office from thepiratebay.org or torrentz.com isn't.
