I have read Russian government will legalize mining, But here I see the news about it.
Putin will ban digital asset as payment.
Maybe Russia will allow crypto as the payment method at the coming years. Let's see
Russia in the foreseeable future will not legalize cryptocurrency on its territory. In any case, until the Putin regime disappears there and the rule in this country becomes more democratic. Especially now, when a strict economy regime is introduced there and a ban on the export of currency from the country is introduced, as wealthy citizens seek to avoid mobilization and leave the pariah country without a normal future.
However, if they adopt a law similar to the one that was submitted to the State Duma on November 17, then cryptocurrency mining will be allowed, but with the obligation to sell cryptocurrency outside the country, that is, it will not be circulating inside the country anyway.
