Do not get too happy too quickly, " Note: According to our Russian sources, all of the above listed websites were still inaccessible at the time of writing."

They say one thing and do completely the opposite.  

Once it takes off, things might change for them, but for now 80% of Russians do not know what Bitcoin is :

One thing is certain, Russia is building a huge military and they are probing NATO Airspace for some time now.

If they plan to start WWIII none of this would be relevant anyways... We would all be dead.

Perhaps after this, we can have the first Bitcoin ATM in Russia. 

Russia had one of the highest Bitcoiner population in 2010 and 2011, but the interest there gradually waned, partially as a result of the hostile actions from the central government. Many of the Bitcoin-related businesses also moved away to other nations. I hope that after this ruling, most of those ventures will return to Russia.
