Fellow russian researcher here. I doubt small donations can work. Not many people use crypto (I’m same noob and not sure if it’s worthy to learn it until I have big audience.) I tried to register with OpenCollective so that they would collect money for me before I leave Russia but they rejected despite me having a project to showcase.
If you have something to show, you could try applying for research grants. This is what I’m trying to do. But that only makes sense if you have time and not so desperate about nearest future.
