Ver Miller’s Find Lost Russian and Ukrainian Family blog has posted about scanned records online from the Russian and Ukrainian Archives.  If you are not conversant in either language it is advisable to download a language translator such as Google translate https://translate.google.com/ or https://www.deepl.com/en/translator

On Vera’s blog she has a video guide on reading Russian records to catch the basic information. She also has a cheat sheet for reading Russian script.
