Assuming Russia moves to announce its decision to legalize bitcoin, I think this will be resolved.  The pros of bitcoin may be under scrutiny from Russia, but the next reaction if bitcoin is accepted as a form of payment, their RUB will continue to weaken.  In this situation, Russia could begin to face the challenge of another economic war.  I also think Russia will probably forge another link with their partners or allies around bitcoin before they can propose bitcoin at the final peg.
