Signal for Android is not entirely FOSS since all official APKs include closed source Google dependencies including Firebase Cloud Messaging, Maps, Authentication and Wallet/Payments.

There's a fork of Signal for Android with proprietary Google binary blobs removed. Uses OpenStreetMap for maps and a websocket server connection, instead of Google Maps and Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Anything else will be worse. There are people who have complaints about how signal is run (it doesn’t use standard protocols, and the official servers are only available for official builds), but it’s all public, GPL source code — you could compile and run your own client/server if you wanted to.

DuckDuckGo is the most privacy oriented search engine you will find. 

I don’t know about VPNs.

A few questions:

Does anybody know of a 100% FOSS messenger, including its internal encryption mechanisms?

Which is the least bad, the least corrupt, search engine out there?

Does anybody know of a strong, solid and quick VPN with Russian outlets?

I personally don't think sudoroom should put itself on a kremlin watch list..

But DM me to coordinate around some relevant projects!
