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.
And be targeted by cyberwarfare from the first-world side.
Great idea. Looking at installing an additional keyboard or language with out it being anoying to the user is next on the feature list.
This might be not a good idea. There are some reports of malware (npm packages, iirc) specifically targeting russian computers since the invasion
Russia has serious penalties for hacking their citizens.

Not for hacking non citizens
