Better late than never. I am not a fan of this new system, but it will negatively affect some of our worst enemies.

Sounds awkward, creating a Russia based payment network. Visitors to Russia will have to find some apolitical, universal payment network that is difficult to block...

Bitcoin is incapable with such transaction rate. There are no decentralized cryptocurrencies which would be able to work as national payment system. Too many scalability issues there waiting for a solution before it will be possible.

Russia had to choose this over bitcoin, I guess they fear it so bad, they decided to make there own system. Well is to bad cause its only gonna benefit but hes clearly not thinking about his people. must be alot of money involved in this

The West tries to strangle Russia with sanctions and Russia just stops buying western stuff and setting up its own payment systems. Superb! This is what I love about the Russians - no messing around!

However, you should also provide solid documentation of you activity, or standard scam suspicions would apply.

Russia demands $3.8bn security deposit from Visa and Mastercardhttp://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/06/russia-security-deposit-visa-mastercard-sanctions-ukraineInternational credit card companies face a "severe impact" on their operations in Russia following a strict new law Moscow has adopted in response to Visa and Mastercard freezing service to banks under US sanctions. Visa described the regulations as "unprecedented" and Mastercard said it could experience difficulties, the Russian magazine Snob reported, after Vladimir Putin signed a law on Monday to create a rival national payment system.

IMO, Russia had made the right decision to adopt a national card payment system. It's better late than never.

Every single nation should be having its own national payment system. Why depend on the thieves of Visa / Master, when we can have much better and less exploitative options?

USA leadership thinks that Putin and his team are stupid.
You can fool Russian's (Putin/Medvedev) once (Lybia......)
but you can't full them twice (Syria, Ukraine).
Now no more Visa&Master, year from now no more USD.....
