    "с тех пор" word-by-word means "from those times"
    "до сих пор" = "up to these times"

    Technically they are not idioms but set phrases because they are used in literal sense.

    "с тех пор до сих пор" is understandable but a bit funny because it sounds like tautology.

    "С тех пор много воды утекло" yes, this phrase is quite common.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?
