This sounds like a good opportunity for Russian state to embrace linux if they haven't already? Munich looks like a good example of successful move out of Microsoft ecosystem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux).

When this happens there will be some American politicians claiming that Linux is communism, that open source is socialism and stupid things like "American pay for software" and other non-sense.

How do mitigate damage this causes before it gains any traction?

No concern. All the multi-national corps use it. Even Microsoft.

I believe this regime won't miss a chance to pwn the Russians for their own money, so they will try to parasite on a patriotic proprietary system pushed by taxes or laws.
