It seems, some CA provide by default certs with Streebog-256 hash as
drop-in replacement for SHA1, so their users forced to (re-)request the
certs with a compatible SHA1 SKID.

Perhaps, you meant https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-4.2.1.2

  "Other methods of generating unique numbers are also acceptable."

Also, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7093
