If the Russian government had any sense they would be encouraging BTC usage among their citizens and by government as a way of defeating/outflanking sanctions.

Yes. However, it BTC is banned this way, then Russian might be more curious about it and buy more.

I think most of the Russian bitcoiners already use Tor to secure them from government surveillance.

that means the normal people from Russia(huge country and huge potential) won't be able to buy Bitcoin. a normal person is not using any VPN or TOR. The normal people wants simple things. Anyway, Bitcoin itself is complicated but if you put a persons to use a proxy, VPN or TOR, you will lose him for sure
