I just set up Cyrillic characters on my keyboard and started searching, so forgive me if my utter ignorance is too much on display: натуризма does get lots of results (3250 in Google Images), but натуризм (no final а) gets more (8830). Also, I'm using a phonetic transliterator, rather than the true Russian keyboard: might that explain my inability to get the character that looks like capital I and O joined, as it were, at the hip? I think that's the one for the "U" sound pronounced "yew" as opposed to "oo" e.g. how some say Tyewsday rather than Toosday, and since it seems a crucial letter in the Russian for "nude," not having it has slowed me down big time. Anyway, these are from searching on иван купала (Ivan Kupala); the latter are from a Russian women's cycling club where at least one rode naked in Ekaterinburg, I think for the solstice...
