The normal

Code:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all


becomes

Code:

Require all granted


Your code

Code:

Require not X.Y.Z.S
Require all granted


in your case, I would do it like this[1]

Code:

<AuthzProviderAlias ip reject-ips "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY">
</AuthzProviderAlias>

<Directory "/path/to/dir">
    <RequireAll>
        Require not reject-ips
        Require all granted
    </RequireAll>
</Directory>


However, there are a lot of Russian IPs. I created a "snippet". [2] The range is roughly 12.6 thousand lines long. I would NOT put that in the Apache config. If you want to lock such large IP ranges I recommend using Cloudflare free version in front of your Apache. Don't do that on your local machine. Maintaining that list is horrible and Apache will take much longer to start and restart. You can do it if you want to.
I did forget to mention that the snippet is only IPv4. The IPv6 list[3] is about 17 thousand lines long.

You "can" block .ru. But that depends on the factor that Apache / your OS needs to resolve the IP to a DNS name that ends in .ru That isn't working well.
