    No, it won’t help you delete previous spam registrations.

    No, mail.ru will also block foo.mail.ru while @mail.ru only gets @mail.ru

    This plugin doesn’t list domains to block since it’s a moving target :/ https://www.spamcop.net would be my first stop.

    Also, I would like to know if there is any wildcard expression that I can use to block all the .ru domains

    Could you kindly refer some plugin that can delete the existing spam registrations OR a plugin that can show and delete users who have never logged in.

    I cannot help you with a list of what domains are spam.

    If you want to block ALL .ru domains, then you need custom code:

    function no_russians($login, $email, $errors) {
            if (strpos($email, '.ru') !== FALSE) {
                    $errors->add('email_banned', __('<strong>ERROR:</strong> This email address is not allowed, please choose another one.'));
            }
    }
    add_action('register_post', 'no_russians', 10, 3);
