Weve read news about Russia investing in bitcoin

It's not an actual news, it's an hearsay, a rumor.

as well as bitcoin accounts becoming active, and word of whales returning. Chinese New Year also approaches. Weve also expected ethereum price to spike leading up to split. However, prices remain low. Whats the likelihood that ethereum will rise following the hardfork? Will the trend continue or will this rise be temporary? I have a feeling that well see another drop, and not see a rise until 2nd quarter at the earliest. However, if there is a chance for an ethereum growth, today might be the last day to purchase.

I also have that feeling that a drop would come, usually when Chinese New year comes the market goes on low. But I don't know and I'm not sure on what will happen for this year. The hasn't been so good for 2018 and this year is just starting, give it space for your expectations.

About rusia investing in the bitcoin seems only a rumour. I guess if OP is not understand and it looks like the correct rumour is about rusia was legalizing the bitcoin mining activity.
Don't expect a lot from chinese new year and that's only a rumour.
