In accordance with Art. 27 of the Federal Law "On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation", "the official currency (currency) of the Russian Federation is the ruble. Introduction on the territory of Russia and other monetary units issue money substitutes is prohibited. " Certain distribution received anonymous payment systems and kriptovalyuty, including the most famous of them - Bitcoin are money substitutes and can not be used by individuals and legal entities.

the statement in red is the official and legal stance of russia.. EG ruble wont be substituted by bitcoin.

Something I've been curious about since I read this earlier. Wrt the statement in red - how is it possible then to have oбмeн вaлютa or whatever it's called (excuse my Russian) on every street corner swapping rubles for dollars or euros?
