That is not true at all. The embargo applies only to several selected categories of goods ie. fruit, flowers, cheese, fish etc. As much as I dislike russian government I have to admit that Marvel merchandise is probably more available in Russia than in Central Europe. See Marveltoy.ru, Fantoy.ru etc.

Nevertheless that russian ebay colletion is almost certainly fake.
