I think you need a banking license to be able to do this in the EU. Basically you are asking to temporarily keep other peoples' money (e.g. mob money) on e.g. my account.
I think local banking license may be need for you, not for me If there is no need for a banking license or the costs for such a banking license are low I could start a company doing this. I do understand your crypto talk.
Let's take an unlikely, but possible scenario. Suppose I get 10M euros in my bankaccount within a few months, it is not impossible that some bells will go off somewhere and that they temporarily freeze my account or find some other excuse to take the assets. I think everyone considering this would be concerned about some Russian mobsters paying a surprise visit however in that case, which is understandable because of course they want their money back.
Usual risk, as in any business Also, what kind of fees are we talking about here specified in EUR or US$ as I am not familiar with the RUB?
In percents. Do you know any European bank which has an automated interface to its banking services which does not require human interaction?
No.

In Germany a license is indeed necessary.
This is from the german wikipedia (roughly translated): In Germany a sole trader has no permission to operate a currency exchange. The forex business is one in ($1 paragraph 1a sentence 2 number 8 of the Banking Act (KWG)) to the banking business. Anyone who runs a currency exchange is therefore either bank or financial services institution.
To get a license (financial services institution) you need - An equity of at least 750.000 EUR - a very good business plan which gets prooved - Very reliable CEOs and owners who studied something like business administration
So I think forget about bitcoin-exchange in Germany.

Unless you find some good lawyers that can make bitcoin pass as a generic commodity exchange, and not currency, since it's not an official currency of any state.
Are the same demands applicable for gold and silver exchanges?

Why not just send btc to people in what ever country / currency you require, and have them send the currency through whatever you normaly use for net transactions? I'm not an expert, but if I made a little from taking say 100 btc to send you £95, I'd do it.. I know the net is full of scammers, but there are some genuine people out there, and if you already know and trust them, why the banks?

What do you mean "just send"? In mail? This is prohibited by postal regulations

Within Russia there is no foreign banks. Foreign banks are prohibited. Banks with foreign names are Russian banks really. And they subjected to the same slow and shitty "currency monitoring" as "pure" Russian banks. Because that I can not organize a normal currency operations across the border of the country. For creating foreign account it is need to travel outside of my country. I live in the geographical center, take a look at the map - approximately 3500-5000 kilometers to the nearest border, except for Kazakhstan, China or Mongolia.

Unless there is some Russian law prohibiting it, you can open an account by mail: On nordea.com/cm you will find a list of required documents and an account application form under Accounts in the left-hand menu. When we have received the required documentation, preferably via your local bank, and we have processed your application, we will send you the relevant agreements, including our terms and conditions, for you to sign. When we have received the duly signed documents, your account(s) will become operational. You can contact Nordea's international banking department in Finland, or maybe the Russian office can also help.

Unless there is some Russian law prohibiting it, you can open an account by mail: I'd did not want to deal with the bank that opens an accounts by mail. Also, best accounts in the Cyprus offshore zone. Maybe in a year one of my friends do it for me. On nordea.com/cm you will find a list of required documents and an account application form under Accounts in the left-hand menu.

You can contact Nordea's international banking department in Finland, or maybe the Russian office can also help. They can not advise me how best to break the laws. The fact that russian citizens is obliged to notify the State that they have an account abroad but nobody does it because it is dangerous from the standpoint of protection from the state. Why you do not want to have a account in your country for exchange? btcex.com have an interface for this.

It's better if one person doesn't carry too much responsibility over the Bitcoin economy and community. But if you can't get a foreign bank account otherwise, maybe I can help you or find somebody reliable. I'll send you a PM.

We need many exchanges distributed far and wide. In Switzerland, I have a Postfinance acct http://www.postfinance.ch/en/priv/prod/pay/abroad.htmlAllows me to send payments by SEPA, Western Union, Cash International, Giro I have never heard of the Cash International... "Use Cash international to transfer cash or a cheque to a recipient abroad who does not have a postal or bank account. " " The recipient * receives a specific payment document, depending on the country concerned, which can be exchanged for cash free of charge at the relevant foreign postal organization. The recipient will normally be required to provide proof of his/her identity # or receives one or more bank cheques (in the case of countries in North and South America). The maximum amount per cheque is USD 2,000 # As a rule, beneficiaries may only pay cheques into their bank (account required). A fee is charged for cashing cheques " Currencies available with exchange at spot and future rates between them: Swiss Franc Euro Australian dollar (AUD) 0.000% Canadian dollar (CAD) 0.000% Danish kroner (DKK) 0.000% Pound sterling (GBP) 0.000% Japanese yen (JPY) 0.000% Norwegian kroner (NOK) 0.000% Swedish kronor (SEK) 0.000% United States dollar (USD) SEPA transfers are free of charge. Fees for sending Western Union seem considerable cheaper using the online interface. 12 francs up to 300 and 5% upto 1K & 3% upto the max. I'll partner in anyway I can. Will find partners, investors to increase liquidity, setup an exchange in Switzerland;
