You should ask the winner for a re-roll. You can't keep it and you're not allowed to regift it as well.
All won games must be activated, otherwise you will be suspended.

A re-roll would not solve this problem, since the next winner might not be from those regions either. Best thing for the gifter would be to delete the giveaway and make a new giveaway restricted to RUS+CIS.

(Psst, you shouldn't mark games as received before activating them)

Do not mark it as received till you receive a copy you can activate.

If it was a public giveaway without any region-restrictions, the gifter has to provide a game that is not restricted.
Since you have to activate all your wins on your account and this isn't doable with that copy, the giveaways wasn't succesful.

You should give back that copy to the gifter and mark the giveaway as "not received" as long as they can't provide a different, region-free copy.
