Good news!
There's a chance this bill is only political in nature and being used as a bargaining chip. Right now russia is under economic sanctions from the united states and europe. Russia could offer to kill this crypto legalization bill for leverage. They must know central banks don't want crypto legitimizing legislation passed. If russia endorses crypto that could be like other countries legalizing marijuana. It makes the united states and other nations look bad when they can't be as progressive or innovative as foreign governments who are decriminalizing drugs & engaging in other progressive laws, while the united states and other major powers fall behind.
Central banks may be behind anti-russian sentiment in the world. Russia may be the only major world power which isn't currently under control of central bankers, which could lead to them seeking ways to weaken russia and divide it from within.
This might sound like something that has a chance of being passed, but over the long term it could easily turn into a bargaining chip russia is using in an effort to ease economic sanctions which have been leveled against them.
