Russian people will always find a way around any regulation. So now the whole russian business is working. Therefore, such exchanges will soon open at every corner.
For me this country could be one of those places where crypto will be legal faster than in others, who knows if their goverment won't make this before 2020.
Under the current Putin-Medvedev rule, Russia will not adopt good laws with respect to the crypto currency. These are all words, and then they are constantly contradictory. In practice, in Russia any actions with respect to crypto-currencies and, in general, the freedom of citizens are prohibited. Hypocrisy is erected in the government of this government, so I think that while Russia for the crypto-currency world is lost.
