Russia blaming who? Britain? Are you kidding? Never heard about that. Of course there might be some idiots who even blame e.g. Israel.
It's like blaming UK for remains of hurricanes that sometimes arrive here from North Atlantic.
Most of the people who brought this virus to Russia came from Italy, but nobody here blames Italy as a state.

It has already spread to all parts of Russia.
Regarding China, the land border was closed early enough and import of the virus was prevented (also because there were not many cases in Northern China).
But local idiots in Moscow were not so quick to stop flying to/from Europe (maybe because many of them or their relatives were themselves on resorts in Italy and France).
Flights to China were cargo only. Planes had 2 or 3 crews who did not leave the airplane while it was unloaded/loaded and immediately flew back.
