Bitcoin in Russia is either banned or accepted? 
nobody except a Russian knows this.
I say this because over the past I have heard all kinds of different news about Russia and bitcoin. you read on the news sites (which are never a good source) that Russia has banned bitcoin, then you hear someone on the social media saying no I live there and there is no such law and the news site is full of it.
if you ask me I think there is only talk about banning bitcoin in Russia and they have not set any laws for that and my reason is the big ass bitcoin conference that was held in Moscow a couple of months ago and it is set to happen each year.
I remember that the russian governement banned it, and then made it legal again.
The problem Poetin and friends have, that the russian economy is going downwards, because russia fights with europe. The sanctions made it bad for them, so they banned bitcoin to prevent money to go out of russia.
