It's not that simple, I think. There are many Russians everywhere, and probably they work at victim companies too, so just being Russian won't be enough, if ransom could be in the millions. You'll have to convince them that the company is Russian-owned, or that your father works in FSB, or whatever.

It is that simple.

How would having one Russian in a company protect them from ransomware? There's no way to make that occurrence detectable to the malware.

Or, for that matter, why would ransomware care about the father of the computer owner?
