Seems the ban applies only for corporations, not personal users.
Also it is only recommendation because the laws can pass only State Duma (parliament of Russia).

Yes, it's a warning, not a some new ban.

Seems like it is not banned, just the same old warnings:

3 hours ago Bitcoin was officially banned in Russia. No English language news source yet, but Russian news sites are all abuzz about it:

Use Google translate, everything is quite clear. Everything Bitcoin-related is banned, including issuance (mining), exchanges, transfers and payment processing. Each company exchanging or accepting Bitcoin will be automatically charged with "supporting terrorism".
Russia wins the dubious distinction of becoming the first country in the world to officially ban Bitcoin (unlike earlier Thailand myth).

It's interesting to see what happens to BTC-e now...

If anyone has WMX in WebMoney wallets, it's probably a good idea to withdraw them to your Bitcoin wallet asap. It's quite likely that they'll be frozen or confiscated very soon.
