Its a fact that no one can ban bitcoin. If anywhere the bitcoin is banned, people can still use it online and can buy things using bitcoins where it is legally accepted. Its good that Russia has openly accepted this fact that it is impossible to ban the crypto currencies.
Been into Russian politics (not directly, lol, I mean I dug into it a lot), and there's no way Russia won't make some seriously bad decisions towards BTC, they just still don't know how to do this properly. It's like hype about chinese gv being interested in crypto, it's quite obvious they want to outpace the us while ensuring their signature totalitarian control over the population
