At a remote job, they ask you to sign a fee contract, as well as an NDA and a scan of the main page of your passport, nothing serious?

Also, take a picture of it all and send it. Nothing serious here, just a formality? Pay via western union

I have never met people who would hire a remote worker and bother with paperwork.
If the customer is very shaking about the confidentiality of the product, then he usually puts people in the office, and does not even consider remote workers as an option.
An exception is if you are a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur, but then there is foreign economic activity and all the procedures arising from it in accordance with the law, i.e. The bank does not transfer money from a foreign client to a current account for a legal entity without documents.
Specifically in your situation - pay attention to the place of signing the documents. If something like this is indicated: "The agreement was signed in %city_name% outside the Russian Federation", then all liability under this agreement will be in jurisdiction outside the Russian Federation. Even if you ignore all the provisions, they will not be able to deport you from the territory of the Russian Federation on a civil lawsuit. An exception is if there are weighty grounds for accusing you of extremism / terrorism or complicity in this. But that's another story altogether.

There were similar precedents. One asked for docks after the project. Another set the condition for the start of the project. To the argument that scans and signatures sent via the Internet have no legal force, if it is not an electronic signature, there were still requirements for scans, and therefore they were sent far and for a long time. Why create risks, there are so many headaches with projects. Fortunately, there are 2 out of 1000 such comrades. As they say, checkers or go.

It is not recommended to distribute passport data to strangers, especially if you do not see them, are unfamiliar with them. I remember once they also asked me to make passport scans when signing the NDA, to which I replied that such a variant does not work (I also got a job remotely, only in a Russian office), to which they were surprised and wrote that I was the first such picky, sent the scan to /y.

Crossover did that. But specifically, they didn’t need a passport scan, I think they sent it to payoneer. But Payoneer needs it, at the same time, and once, on the card I opened on my own, they delayed the payment, asking me to somehow certify what this money is for me. They asked for a copy of the invoice (I have it self-made, without seals), later - a copy of the contract with the signatures of both parties. I had to send. Unblocked payment.

Fine. When concluding a contract, foreigners often have an NDA (a non-proliferation agreement on the details of the project later - quite reasonably). At the expense of the passport - you just need a proof of personality. I don't see a problem here either. If somehow annoying that the passport - offer a passport or a driver's license. In the contract, anyway, your data (name, address, etc.) will be - what's the problem?
