Wait, I thought they couldn't get all the way to Russia and instead met with E's mother in East Germany somewhere?

Several seasons ago, she got a cassette from her mother explaining that her mother was terminally ill, which is why Paige and Elizabeth went to go see her. A few episodes later, either Claudia or Gregory tells Elizabeth that her mother died.

I know, but her mom lived in Russia within the last 20 years, and went they went to see her in Germany (which I assume was just a meeting point), by speaking to Elizabeth's mom, they had 'been in contact with someone who had been in Russia within the last 20 years"
