Every operator whereever it comes from needs to buy the wholesale allowance from the local partner in the country where you are roaming. That's not different with Russian providers. They can't simply steal the data.

There is no place in the world where you can buy unlimited data roaming. T-Mobile US has such an offer and now Sprint in the US too, but only for contracts and their speeds are severely throttled.

I agree that major Russian providers don't offer good foreign roaming rates at the moment. Ukrainian providers are much better with this. But there are some niche providers from Russia catering specially for the roaming market like DrimSim and ComfortWay that we've mentioned in the All countries section.
