[znavko@disroot.org]

The link from Libreoffice Writer in menu Tools -> Language -> More dictionaries online
and search there: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions?getCategories=Dictionary&getCompatibility=any&sort_on=positive_ratings&path=%2FPlone%2Fextensions&portal_type=tdf.extensionsuploadcenter.eupproject&SearchableText=russian
helped!
