Is it possible to fake being from Russia. I heard some malware won't install on computers from Russia or with the Russian language as primary language

Or has the Russian keyboard installed, even if not used IIRC.

This might be not a good idea. There are some reports of malware (npm packages, iirc) specifically targeting russian computers since the invasion
