I am saying that conversion back to RUB (actually something you can use to pay for gas/food/rent) is still going to be problematic. Meaning that you're supposed to pay tax and if amount of money is somewhat significant, you might get your bank account auto-blocked. LocalBitcoins is blocked, but there are still analogues (not with greatest rate, but anyway). Russia <-> Crypto relationship is complicated and recently Central Bank proposed additional restrictions, but its not approved yet. https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/russian-cbank-propo... |

I suspect - but absent evidence this is speculation - that you can probably pay with gold and 'hard' currency easily right now in Russia, this was the case before the iron curtain fell (illegal, of course) and I don't see why it would be any different today. People hate being paid in a currency that loses double digit percentages of value overnight.
