TL;DR
Yes, you can bring fruits from Vietnam on the plane. Up to 5 kg per person is allowed into Russia; airlines rarely check strictly. Supermarket receipts are recommended but usually not required.
Flew with Pegasus Airlines carrying around 7 kg of fruit in a basket — no one weighed or checked it. Checked baggage was 21.1 kg (1.1 kg over the limit) and that was also ignored.
Carry-on allowance is 7 kg; up to 5 kg of fruit per person is permitted, packed in a basket or bag. Mango, avocado, and passion fruit were brought through without issues. Supermarket receipts are available but customs did not check them.
Flying Aeroflot with a 10 kg carry-on allowance makes it easy to bring fruit. Russia officially allows up to 5 kg of fruit per person to be imported.
