Russian Access to ChatGpt

I recently came across a piece of news, “Russian lender Sberbank recently unveiled its chatbot GigaChat as a rival to OpenAI’s sensational ChatGPT”. And I came to know Russia doesn’t have Open AI access because of security reasons.

I’m wondering if Russians are completely devoid of Open AI when the whole world is flourishing in its productivity using ChatGPT, or if there are some bypasses or alternatives as open extensions or packages available?

We can use vpn. But lot of vpns are blocked here too… In short, it isn’t a big problem, but it’s disgusting and makes me angry. There also are some good alternatives, but the original chatgpt is much more comfortable in use
