Do you think Russia will be the first one to succeed into creating a national altcoin?

Dubai already has its own cryptocurrency from what I know. It's not a country, but I'd still call that one the first.

And while I am inclined to distrust government controlled cryptocurrencies, I'd trust even less this CryptoRuble.
I mean, come on, Putin was just a couple of days ago against Bitcoin, calling for ban of all cryptos in Russia. And now he has his own crypto? How long until he changes his mind again? What if you invested your money into it and he decides to halt this project just because he changed his mind?

As much as I know, Dubai doesn't have its crypto but is seriously considering implementing it just as Japan is planing unti the next olympics (not quite sure is it olympics or not, not home to check) and Lithuania, not sure again, has already issued their crypto but it's not recognized by the EU.
