Russian-based sports gym chain NanoFitness has announced it will begin accepting Bitcoin as payment for membership and related services.
This actually happened a few days ago and they announced it on their VK page : https://vk.com/wall-117861517_674 and you can also read an article about it from Bitcoinist : http://bitcoinist.com/russia-gym-accepting-bitcoin/

IMO They've already unbanned bitcoin.

Russian has an opportunity be a friendly country for bitcoin soon. Cheesy

I don't think when they say that Russia has banned bitcoin means that everywhere in Russia has banned it.
It is the largest country in the world so their are regions in it that has accepted it and some that do not.
I would say that is safe to assume. Since we are not in Russia and can not say how thinks work there.
