As they should.  But they should do so respectfully, as a machlokes
l'shem shamayim.  After all, this is not just a shitas yachid, as Rav
Unterman held a similar view, not to mention many rabbanim nowadays.

I should also point out that the fact that the Russian Jews are of
Jewish lineage is an additional basis for leniency that many rabbanim
rely upon.

Perhaps R'n Boublil could give us an "insider's view" on this matter.

Kol tuv,
