I’d expect everything that you type into Yandex that can be of use to the Russia will be used by Russia - they will nit care about hurting you.
Just like Russia doesn’t care about online criminals being located within their borders - as long as they target outside.
While this may be true to some extent of all the countries, Russia is the one to be clearly against Estonia, Baltics and eastern europeans.
How is that different for any web site on Earth?
