... xchange-traded funds that offer the best way to gain exposure to Russia’s stock market were on pace for their worst month on record, as sanctions levied against Moscow, in response to its unprovoked attack against Ukraine, slam the Kremlin.
The VanEck Russia ETF RSX, -30.83% was down 28% on Monday, and down 54% so far in February, putting the popular ETF on pace for the worst monthly loss since its inception back in April of 2007.
Another: ERUS: -27.52%

========================================
I have a considerable stake in an emerging market fund, Vanguard's VEMAX. Russia is considered an emerging market.
Fortunately only 2.8% of its holdings are Russian (as of 1/31/22 -- probably that percent is quite a bit lower now with the reduction in Russian stock values)
Interesting that I couldn't find the by-country composition from Vanguard though I might have not looked hard enough. Fidelity has them --

Probably Morningstar too.
