They can scam you out of BTC and they know their government will just ask for a cut in USD or Euro of course... Thats IF they even get noticed.
Russians happen to love internet money!
The economic system of Russia has been built from underground activity since the collapse of The Soviet Union. Bitcoin serves the Russian legally-black/grey power structures very well in laundering funds among other things, especially on an international-scale, since Bitcoin is not centrally managed.
Basically, my guess is Russian mobsters and criminals are picking up on it.

Yesterday I was looking at map that showed popularity of bitcoin worldwide and was wondering why Russia got the first place.
There is a good reason for bitcoin being so popular in Russia.
It is probably because there is a Russian TV channel that discusses bitcoin all the time: "Russia Today" TV (rt.com).
This may tell us how important is mediatic coverage for bitcoin popularity.
