Russia follows the US in this regard-everything is similar to some state's laws
this is not recognition or legalisation,it is regulation in a form of "hey,now you pay for using cryptocurrencies"
taxes,obligatory KYC identification,exchanges forced to store user's personal data etc.
anyhow,this is just talks,lets come back to this when we see it implememnted
the good thing as with almost everything in Russia,the laws are issued but not always enforced,or just simply being ignored

You are right, for today in Russia there is no law that regulates the cryptocurrency. There are only conversations and versions.
But, I would not be surprised if the legalization of the crypto currency in Russia kills anonymity. The Russian government wants to know everything about its citizens
