If you’re savvy enough, sure. But for the lay person who doesn’t want a clouded view of the world, they likely won’t have the same resources or technical capabilities.
It’s not without drawback though. SSH tunnel consumes a lot more cpu compared to wireguard. If your vps has a weak cpu, it might not even able to fully saturate a 1gbps connection due to cpu bottleneck on certain ciphers. If you’re using a mobile device, it will drain your battery faster than wireguard.
Couldn’t you just use any server/droplet/AWS instance via SSH to get around this law? Seems much simpler.

True, it’s not like Russian need to use VPN to pirate stuff anyway.
that’s assuming you can get one, which is challenging since most hosting companies don’t/can’t offer services in russia anymore
