I have made several attempts to recover my original Facebook account,
after someone changed the primary email address to ********.ru
The easiest way, is for Facebook to revert to the previous primary email
address after me supplying valid credentials, but they seem unable to do
that.
I don't know if the original password is compromised, I am reluctant to
add any information, because it will be notified to ********.ru

Use a temp mailbox:

https://temp-mail.org/en/10minutemail

It will create a random email address for you that you can communicate
with on their web site for 10 mins. After that it is gone.

Have you any idea how they got into the account? One assumes they must have
your password. To what end do they seem to be using it? Myself, I'd not
trust Facebook with my tea money, but then I guess its really dependent on
what you want to use it for.

If they do not have a forgotten your password system, then you are stuffed
in any case.

I don't see how that would help, as the original poster wants the old
account name back. Looking at it from Facebooks angle, they would not be
able to tell which of you was real unless there are some other non visible
things they and you know but the hacker could not see. However if there
were, then the hacker would not be in there in the first place. You know
secret words, first pets name or whatever.
If you used something obvious, then that is how they hacked it

Clearly the hacker can change the primary email address where FB can't or
won't. They know it's me when they asked for phone authentication.
