between big countries are experiencing a shift in competition in the payment system, especially currencies, the government is likely to want to start adopting blockchain technology that allows them to be free from the influence of the dollar, the world currency today, if they succeed in crypto then the state of world trade will be more stable because Americans cannot embargo world trade, the Russian government must have been aware of this.

First you need to separate the two: Blockchain and bitcoin. Its two entity so if Russian wanted to invest on Blockchain Technology it doesn't mean that they going to adopt crypto. But adopting Blockchain Technology doesn't mean that they will be free from USD influence in an event of trade embargo. So already have their Rubble, but as far as I know, we haven't heard any success about it. Actually, all crypto back by government hasn't been successful as well, just look at Venezuela's Petro, it didn't work and its a complete failure for Maduro's government.
