Русский(RU) Gemini в России в 2026 году: аккаунт, регион и оплата без карты российского банка

Google Gemini AI officially unavailable in Russia, access remains restricted

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google's Gemini AI is not officially available in Russia, as indicated by multiple official support documents that omit the country from lists of supported regions. While Gemini briefly worked for Russian accounts on August 16, 2025, this is believed to be a temporary technical glitch rather than an official launch. Accessing Gemini requires matching the account's country, IP address, and payment method, with Russian payment cards facing restrictions from both Google and international payment systems like Visa and Mastercard.
