I have been Waiting for a russian player to get back to a game and suposidly they have 3Mins. I have been waiting for 15 minutes and chess.com still keeps him in the game. Whats up with that? ARE RUSSIAN PLAYERS EXCEMPT FROM THE RULES HERE????

I don't think it's a lie or that Russian players have any special exemption.

Evidently your opponent did not disconnect but simply let his time run out. (It says that you won the game on time.) Maybe he fell asleep waiting for your move.

Unfortunately, chess.com can't tell what happened.
