You could displace other exporters if you butch your prices. However, finding customers is irreleant when you cannot even export it, and it requires many years to build such infraestructure, sometimes decades, and it requires the technological partners from the West.

Agreed. Though I'd also argue that if you could do that, if you had a base of potential customers worth trillions of dollars over a few years.. well you'd increase production and build that infrastructure... starting years ago, whether there's a euro crisis or not. Why leave trillions of dollars on the table? But Russia largely hasn't done that (yeah I am oversimplifying here, Russia has made such efforts to improve base and supply, but faces physical and political obstacles etc. but I think the main point stands).
