Hi Alexey,
due to the thickened hind femur and tibia combined with the yellow face I think it's a male
Macropis sp.
But I don't know the russia fauna at all, so I can't go deeper…
In Germany we have two species,
M. europaea and
M. fulvipes, both with 8 - 10mm significantly larger than your reported 5mm, but not distinguishable on foto.
Best regards,
Marc
