There is still russian alexandrite available.

Bought this 1,33 ct in 2016 from an eastern european vendor together with some russian demantoid.

You can buy some from russian vendor too - small, included low quality. A larger amount was available in 1990-1992 in Munich show. Some really nice. Most with a weak CC.

Last pic was made from Dr. Schmetzer - he checked this stone ( single crystal with a strong color zoning - higher chrome content) and in his opinion he agreed that is is russian orign.

Malysheva Mine is still active ( pers. comm. Dr. Schmetzer) and there are let us call them "mineral collectors" active.
