They didn't start with that fine, it was just compounding interest

The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.

And regardless, Russia can't block Google's operations in Russia because Google isn't operating in Russia since the war. Russia is trying to fire Google when Google quit 2 years ago.
