Going to reply to myself! Ok, I found the answer based on my own experience in the last few months. The free whatsapp and viber traffic is allowed after the Local Russian package is bought. The minimum pay for 30 days is required, something like 370 RUB for 2GB of data and 200 minutes. It is only one time needed to activate the local package even if you are in Roaming, then after the 30 days are finished the internet is blocked but the free traffic for whatsapp or viber is still available... I tried the Yota SIM in different countries. The use of Firewall to block all kind of traffic except for Viber and Whatsapp is advisible as the local operator in Roaming may block the traffic for that SIM if there too many attempts coming in from the phone, so better to shut off the traffic for anything else.
