Thats correct. Bitcoin is not illegal.
However doing large transactions cash for btc (above 15k rub) may be risky, because a person can charged with violation of AML legislation. In my opinion larger deals should be done by moving money through banks.

BTC is NOT illegal here. The general prosecutor issued a warning that it might consider all deals dont in crypto as "suspicious" - thats for companies, as it goes for citizens there was a clear statemnt in the speech - "that we CANNOT ban people buying bitcoin at the moment"
Is BTC illegal right now or is it just not considered as legal money? Is the situation legally clear?
BTC is illegal here, but I guess that nobody cares. 
Hallo,
Sorry I don't speak russian, but I thought that topic could be interesting for russian BTC traders:
It is about a pure P2P Fiat-BTC exchange.
Would be great to get some information about the current situation in Russia.
