Never in Russia will not be friendly to the cryptocurrency. Russia is a country with a totalitarian form of government, there is no place for human rights and freedoms. Therefore, the cryptocurrency in this country will be under strict state control.
Yeap you absolutly right, I would add that Russia has a central bank which, according to the constitution, is not subordinate to the government and belongs to the international monetary fund. Therefore, Russia cannot make any independent decisions on financial matters.
