The same fineś go for use of dollar and euro!

This is not correct. Proposed legislation does not concern foreign currencies at all and is targeted specifically to cryptocurrencies. Foreign currencies and their exchange will still be legal, but any operations in digital currencies will be criminalized. Now, the question of enforcement is still an open one of course. But you won't be able to legally accept BTC in your local business - they'll fine you. And it is expected that access to any websites with bitcoin-related information will be blocked from Russia.

Russia is here just as powerful as me making this law...

1 million rubles = 100 USD

Not really, it's actually about $25K. Not negligible, at any rate.
