Buying Russian patterns from abroad?

Hi there and happy new year!

I have fallen in love with a pattern from a Russian designer. She offers it on her personal website and some website called boosty, so I can only pay via credit card or Yumoney. Unfortunately the provider won't accept credit cards from my country and Yumoney won't even let me register. I suppose it's a political thing.. So I guess my question is: does anyone of you know of a workaround? I'd be forever grateful!

PS I have already posted bounty for the pattern but I'm just SO IMPATIENT. I need it asap ):

You can't use Yumoney. It's only for Russia now. On Boosty, you could pay via PayPal before, but I went in today and didn't see that option. They probably closed it. Various bloggers offer alternative payment methods on Boosty, but you have to ask the author of the pattern in a private message.
And I do not advise you to use all these methods, because they are very, very dubious. Therefore, it seems to me that there are currently no safe ways to pay Russian designers if the system does not accept your card.
