I hope this isn't fake news and it turns out true. Russia is very big populated country. There are many people in our russian local forums too. I hope they will legalize it and regulate icos so we may see trustable altcoins from Russia.
Perhaps the introduction of these laws will lead to a decrease in the number of frauds in their market, but I would not invest in projects oriented to the Russian economy. There are very serious problems, I do not think it's worth the risk.
