Apparently, you have wrong impressions about russion vn community. It's big, biggest in Europe and growing fast with many dedicated circles of translators and developers. Thanks to renpy there are many good for nothing games 2-4 hours long. And otome's not really a thing, not as large as nukige or 18+ titles. Russion developers made there own commercial visual novels long before all this hype in the west - Red Space and Evgeniy Onegin. Games floped but the fans still alive and active. For this day we have full russion patches for clannad, air, little busters, swan song, yure miru kusuri, ever17, katawa shoujo, kns, and many others I'm too lazy to mention. And majikoi, rewrite, angel beast on their way. Russions don't like spend money on the legal games, don't like censored or expensive staff, but it would be nice if vn localization companies care for such wide community and consider russion language from the start. And I'm not russion but ukrainian, so sorry for mistakes, still learning. By the way, there is none vn in my native language but that's another political sad story.
