But the stats https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html?graph=direct-users&start=2013-05-29&end=2013-08-27&country=ru&events=off#direct-users for russia show a rise from around 17.000 to around 28,000 in a trend which simply mirrors the global rise of around half a million. So I don't think we can lay the entire rise on Russia's doorstep.
