This must be something that the government is really thinking on hard. Allowing ICOs to go legal and regulated is actually helping the Russian economy since the money can come mostly from people of other countries. Now, legalization and regulation can be a two-edged sword...it can both helpful and a poison depending on the fine print details which the government may issue later.
Let's see how this whole thing can transpire. I understand that there are now many ICOs initiated by Russians and I believe they can be good in what they are doing. On the other hand, we still have to hear what SEC of USA can be saying on ICO as it has been reluctant to make any possible policy pronouncement much more start a good discussion about the ICO platform.
