Russians have not been banned. However, some parts of the site are blocked by some Russian ISPs.

XD there was this:

Chess.com is not instituting a ban on all Russian or Belarusian players on our site and events. We believe it is counterproductive to isolate innocent Russian and Belarusian citizens from the global community. Participation in the global community is important to spreading truth.

But you have the North Korean flag, my coach is a female Russian soldier and she told me she was banned from chess.com and from facebook, I have another friend from Russia and he told me that he was banned for the flag. Is there a Russian with the Russian flag here?

The real question is, what will happen if/when Russia wins the war? Will Russian flags then be allowed?
