Russia as well as Belarus are taking some steps towards crypto, this is very important now. Hope the rest of the world will join this movement
I don't believe in an optimistic scenario. Russia and Belarus are under sanctions. International capital will not open business in these countries because it is risky and the Russians themselves also want to open business in a more stable Europe or offshore. The countries of the former USSR have never been an example.
Those sanctions won't last forever, I think. Current situation doesn't look ideal for opening business, but it's more a long-term oriented decision, which will be profitable in some time
