For the time being.

Don't misunderstand, a VPN or Smart DNS proxy just gives them access to
the US Netflix site. They still have to buy a subscription in order to view the
content.

Netflix blocks access to US content, even to US subscribers, if they happen
to be in a foreign country. In other words, without a VPN or Smart DNS proxy,
a US subscriber can't access their own US Netflix content from a foreign
country. Here's a different way of saying it.

A Netflix user’s subscription provides them with entry to any country’s Netflix content. However, they need to be inside the borders of a country to gain access to that content. This means that if you’re in Russia, you won’t have access to American Netflix content.

When a user enters “https://netflix.com” into their browser or opens the Netflix app, they’ll find that they are automatically routed to the content licensed for their current location, not necessarily the country where they signed up.

This limitation isn’t because Netflix is a control freak. Instead, it is because the streaming service’s content providers are control freaks.

Any movie or television show you watch on Netflix is licensed from film studios and television networks. The contracts Netflix signs with these content owners all include restrictions that say that viewing of the content must be limited to a specific region.

Once Russia removes itself from the WWW sometime in November things may work differently for them.  Without the WWW they won't be able to access sites such as Netflix.

I'm not sure the comment related to licences but to a plan to"unplug" Russia from the WWW.

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

Russia may briefly disconnect from the internet as part of a test of its cyber-defences.

I think it's only a Temporary thing and wont last forever.  I think Putin is only doing this so he won't be accused of any Election Meddling in the USA upcoming Elections in the next 13 Months.  After the Elections are done they'll likely lift the Restrictions and back to the WWW.
