In Russia, rape is a crime that carries a penalty of three to six years in most cases, but it is difficult to pursue and get a conviction. According to statistics from the Crisis Center for Women in St. Petersburg, up to 70% of women who have been raped go to the police, but only 10% of the accusations result in charges. As a result, it is estimated that only 1% of men who commit these acts receive criminal punishment.

I read the study in Russian (but I did not read the article referenced in the post).

The only number I found there is that to the question "sometimes conflicts in a family cause physical violence" 4% of women answered that this happened in their family and 21% of women said that this happened in their environment.

The study also analyses what people consider as a domestic violence as such, for example many consider "requirement to show SMS/social chat" as a violence - so this term could be wider than one thinks.
