The Russian government has long shown interest in cryptocurrency in connection with circumventing international sanctions. Therefore, it was Russian specialists who, on the instructions of Putin, helped the President of Venezuela Maduro to create their centralized cryptocurrency El-Petro precisely in order to avoid international sanctions. Therefore, it is likely that they will learn from the experience of Venezuela. However, we see that they do not create their cryptocurrency so far, this would attract too much public attention. Therefore, most likely, they will buy Bitcoin or another decentralized cryptocurrency. As always, they will act in secret and if they are exposed to this, they will traditionally declare that it is not they and they did not do this and in general they were not there.
