Hi superpsih,
it's not an ichneumonid wasp, it belongs to Sphecidae, maybe close to
Sceliphron or related genera (but I'm not at all familiar with the russian fauna...).
Maybe try on http://forum.hymis.de
Best regards, Marc

Sceliphron curvatum female (Sphecidae) (abdomen and legs are diagnostic). Is it really in Russia??? Here in Italy has arrived some years ago, from indian area... but didn't think was able to arrive so deep in northern Europe.

You are welcome! :)
Here we also have the leader
S. caementarium, arrived from America, and that has literally overridden our native species (like
S. spirifex)
