The underlying issue is that countries like russia support abuse like this. So by blocking them perhaps the people there will demand that their govt stops supporting crimes and absuse so that they can be allowed back into the internet.
(In the case of russians though i guess they will never change)

Sure. It doesn't work that way, not in Russia or China. First they have to revert back to 1999 when Putin took over. Then they have to extradite criminals and crack down on cybercrime. Then maybe they could be allowed back onto the open Internet.
In my country one would be exradited to the US in no time. In fact the USSS came over for a guy who had been laundering money through BTC from a nearby office. Not a month passed and he got extradited to the US, never to be heard from again.
