I've been waiting for https://github.com/opentofu/registry/pull/824 ("Revert commit that removed Russian providers") to be resolved, but it seems to have stalled.

Open source does not work as I envisioned, I guess.

"Code is cheap, show me your nationality" approach to opensource is an absolute disgrace to the world. Surely sharing knowledge and volunteer work in software is one place where nationality and politics should have no place

That's not about nationality though. That PR is about (re)enabling OpenTofu to work more smoothly with Russian SaaSes, which are either already sanctioned or are likely to be sanctioned.

Everything is political, being "apolitical" is a political choice. You can't escape politics.
