On Yandex, geography decides everything. yandex.ru distrusts foreign IPs and keys every result set to a region read from your address, so collecting real rankings means exiting from Russia, in the right city.

What works on Yandex

Yandex keys every result set to a region through its lr parameter, Moscow is region 213, Saint Petersburg is 2, taken from your IP's detected location. An exit in the wrong city collects rankings for the wrong market, and a foreign or datacenter IP against yandex.ru both draws the SmartCaptcha faster and returns a distorted SERP.
So this is a geography problem first. A Russian residential exit in the specific region you track is what returns the rankings a local there actually sees, and getting the location right matters more than raw volume.
A clean, correctly-located IP fixes reputation, isolation and geography, not a scraper shipping an obvious library user-agent, a client that discards the yandexuid cookie, or an automation fingerprint. Wordstat in particular is login-gated, JavaScript-heavy and aggressively rate-limited, so it needs multiple clean IPs and warmed accounts, not a single address.
On the account side, Yandex leans on hard identifiers no proxy touches: phone verification on signup and a device fingerprint. Two accounts sharing an address is exactly the pattern it links, and scraping or running many accounts is against Yandex's terms, an exposure that stays yours no matter how clean the addresses.

FAQ
Because a foreign or datacenter IP against yandex.ru draws SmartCaptcha, Yandex's own challenge, quickly, and because too many requests from one address trip the rate limit. A Russian residential exit, region-matched and human-paced, is what keeps you under it.
Exit from that city. Yandex sets the result region from your IP via the lr parameter, so a residential IP in Moscow returns Moscow rankings and one in Saint Petersburg returns different ones. The exit location is the ranking location.
There is an official Yandex XML search API, but it requires registration, has hourly and daily query limits and historically narrower region coverage, which is why many still scrape the live SERP for full, region-accurate results.
One clean static Russian IP per account, so eight Yandex Direct accounts want around eight Russian ISP IPs. Yandex links accounts that share an address, and also checks phone verification and device fingerprint that no proxy touches.
The terms that decide how Yandex treats your traffic.
Geo-targeting
Deliberately choosing a proxy in a specific country, region or city so your traffic originates exactly where you need it to.
Residential proxy
A proxy that routes your traffic through an IP address assigned by an internet service provider to a home connection, so requests look like an ordinary person browsing.
CAPTCHA
A challenge designed to tell humans from bots, triggered far more often by suspicious network reputation than by any single request.
Rate limiting
A site's cap on how many requests one source may make in a window, the most common obstacle a scraper meets.
