This seems like an obvious solution to a geography-based ban. They'll have to use a VPN, but lots of people have learned to do this to watch region-locked media.
I wonder whether they'll be caught. Seems like it would be a pretty resource intensive process for a service provider to detect this without picking up a lot of false positives (i.e. people who moved out of Russia and updated their profiles after getting the initial email). Either way, this is only buying time, as these site owners will not be able to make payments easily. My guess is that many of them will migrate to Russia-based providers in the coming weeks and months, and just wanted to work around Namecheap's six day notice.
