We'll see putin investing in BTC in the following years, every country will.
I will not read too much into that, because a lot of countries allow Bitcoin holding as a investment, but they do not allow it as a accepted currency. They will not arrest you, if you have Bitcoins BUT they may harass you, if you accept it as a currency in merchant trading. As far as I know, there is no ban on Bitcoins in Russia. 
They may harass you now because they said that BTC might be linked with terrorism and crime, and most BTC sites are blocked for the russians. They are supposed to ban BTC in august, if things don't change

never doubt the Guido
Is this a change is stance for them then? I thought I had read somewhere in the past that Russia had banned Bitcoin.
A lot of people is backpedling about their critiques with BTC and are slowly (or suddenly) changing their views and seeing it as more positive. They've seen banning it is useless, so what can you do? accept it. Im surprised Putin corrected his stance on BTC this quick tho, I would expect him to be one of the last guys to pick the train.

There have been rumors that btc is some sort of nsa project related to tracking peoples monetary activities. Could it be that putin thought this too, and now is finally thinking its "safe" to use?
I really wonder how putin really feels about the US Govt and vice versa. How much of the situation is just media hype??

well then its flawed because altcoin make this point moot, thei failed in their created quite a bit or they were so naive that they couldn't thinking about the possibility of other chain? i doubt
so my verdict is that this rumors is a bullshit
They probably will make their own state controlled crypto coin, like Ecuador or Bolivia said they are going to do.
I doubt Russia will officially adopt something they can't control
I doubt Russia will officially adopt something they can't control
no governments will ever do that, a centralized system that adopt a decentralized system, sound like an oxymoron

Vladimir Putin: You can use digital currency for some operations
14 July 2015 Hits: 4977
President of Russia Vladimir Putin says that it is possible to use bitcoins for some operations.
Putin discussed bitcoin with the participants of the Klyazma Youth Forum, says Kremlin.
“This money has no real basis and it does not depend on any real entity. In general you can use these ‘coins’, they are spreading more and more. You can use them as the equivalent [of money] in certain segments of economy. This is possible,” said president of Russia.
Putin noted that he discussed the digital currency with the head of the Russian Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina. “People in Central Bank have a very professional position [on bitcoin]. We do not reject it. Yet there are serious and real problems with the acceptance [of this currency].”
Press-secretary of Vladimir Putin Dimitry Peskov later noted that Vladimir Putin did not speak in support of bitcoin.
“It was not specifically about Bitcoin, they talked about some form of conditional payments,” said the press-secretary of the head of state, “It is clear from the context of his speech."
This spring, the Central Bank of Russia, originally very critical of cryptocurrencies, became much more favourable towards them.An unnamed official connected to the Central Bank informed the Izvestia newspaper that the regulator might start to regulate some of the bitcoin transactions such as remittances or payments to private accounts. Allegedly, the Central Bank was going to meet the financial markets representatives to discuss the question of bitcoin and cryptocurrency use in Russia.
Later in April, the head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina spoke favourably of bitcoin. Experts suggested that a government-run bitcoin exchange could be created to monopolise the ruble/bitcoin conversion.

I wonder why some people think BTC is banned in Russia. Apart from our Internet regulator banning some websites (a decision overturned by the court later), nothing happened. There's no ban, there's regulatory uncertainty. And our central bank has already said it is willing to regulate Bitcoin to some extent.
AFAIR they did propose laws that would prohibit digital currency transactions. Max Keiser doesn't really help us by promoting illicit activity...
It think it will make a whole lot of difference if they adopted bitcoin... considering the population, size of the economy, i reckon it will mean something

We do not reject anything, but there are serious, really fundamental issues related to its wider usage, at least, today

From the reliable source of some guys twitter account. But at this stage it doesn't matter about China, Russia, or any country. Heck... it doesn't even seem like poor transaction performance has an affect on bitcoin as the price raises to a new base around $300. But I'm not complaining

i see a lot of people saying they should accept bitcoin as their currency!
this is never going to happen, the government will never let such a thing happen. simply because they can not control something that is based on decentralization and anonymity , plus it is always easier and cheaper for the government to just print their money rather than anything else.
i think the best explanation of their stance with bitcoin can be explained by this title:
"Putin does not reject the use of electronic money, but against their widespread"

Hopefully the period of uncertainty will have a bigger effect now that it's over, even more than if it was endorsed by the government from the start.
But if you read the new he says he doesn't like bitcoin 
"The only unchanging thing is change". So everything can be change.
7 can't change. It will always be 7. Its never going to slip down to being 6.

Because of Western propaganda maybe?
