Is there any danger when using TOR with a Russian sentinel node?

There are some doubts about encryption.
Assumption
When the request for YouTube goes, encryption will be of the form Russia (France (Austria (My request))).
The request getting to the guard node Russia will remove 1 layer of encryption. France(Austria(My request)) and Russia will transfer it to the node in France.
In France, the node will remove 1 more layer of encryption. Austria(My request)
And Austria(exit node) will see my request and pass it to YouTube.
It's okay for now. How will the answer go back?
Is it really Austria (France (Russia (My answer))) - i.e. mirror and Russia will see my answer at the end?

It is dangerous if this site and the final visited site are both controlled by the same intelligence agencies, they can determine the fact of the visit based on the fact that the call occurred at the same time and the amount of traffic transmitted was the same.
Of course, they will not see the answer, but they can match your request to the input node with the request of the output node to the shell site.
Of course, this can easily be a coincidence, but our special services do not understand that coincidences are possible, and they can easily put you in jail if they have even slight suspicions, and you do not have an alibi.
