There a few company's in Moscow that are and have been selling mining machines for sometime.  There has been some good progress and I do fell it will be allowed sooner, but it does scare you when 7 years imprisonment for anything to do with bitcoin. 

here some good positive news I seen lately.

Russia always had a weird kind of relationship with bitcoin in my opinion. they have been saying we will ban bitcoin and imprison anybody who uses it but there were no rules about it and now they are legalizing it. besides i have been hearing news about their big bitcoin conferences in Moscow every year.

Very true,
I use my XAPO card often there and never had an issue.
