You are 100% incorrect. I worked at Circle which had the second-largest OTC desk while I was there, and $3 million in BTC even back then was trivial. The markets now are ~25x more liquid than they were a few years ago. I don't think you know even the smallest thing about this industry because your comment is so entirely mistaken it reveals you are clueless. Converting from BTC to rubles is a different matter but BTC / fiat trades of major currencies is very easy for USD and I can't imagine rubles are difficult.

Either Circle decided to be legal with KYC after you left or you've forgotten about the part where they ID their customers, for the benefit of the government.
