Please note that you may flash foreign countries firmware on you phone. The russina version has a few added app and will start with russian language but you may change the locale at the start.

How to flash

Backup any important data. Power off your phone. Download and install USB drivers. Power off your phone into download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power and then Volume Up to confirm.

Run Odin v3.12. Make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and nothing else

Now you will want to check BL, AP, CP, CSC. For each firmware flash corresponding file:
BL : BL_A520FXXU2BQH4_CL11940524_QB14483550_REV00_user_ low_ship.tar.md5
AP : AP_A520FXXU2BQH4_CL11940524_QB14483550_REV00_user_ low_ship_meta.tar.md5
CP : CP_A520FXXU2BQG7_CP7025068_CL11926776_QB14345799_R EV00_user_low_ship.tar
CSC : you can either flash
CSC_OXE_A520FOXE2BQG7_CL11926776_QB14345799_REV00_use r_low_ship.tar to wipe all data before the first boot
HOME_CSC_OXE_A520FOXE2BQG7_CL11926776_QB14345799_REV00_use r_low_ship.tar will keep your data

Make sure everything is configured properly, then press Start. Dont remove the phone until it is finished (PASS! in odin) and rebooted. First boot shouldn't take very long. At first it will be written in russian but you can select another language when configuring the device.
