At the 2017 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. Putin also spoke about Russia’s economic reform and the digital economy, while the central bank discussed bitcoin’s taxation and its own digital currency.
An annual event held since 1997, SPIEF is attended by business and finance leaders in Russia and from all around the world. It is “dedicated to the discussion of key economic issues facing Russia, emerging markets and the world in general,” states the official website of the President of Russia. The theme of this year’s forum, held from June 1 to June 3, is “In search of a new balance in the global economy.”
Buterin was a speaker in the session called “Blockchain – the birth of the new economy” and a panelist in the session called “The explosive impact of blockchain technology.” First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov and Central Bank Deputy Governor Olga Skorobogatova were also panelists in the same session.

Japan already has. I work for Toyota and every breakroom has tv with Toyota News playing on it. Just last Thursday there was a message say that Toyota was researching Blockchain technology. Loved the fact that I've been telling people at work about Cryptocurrencies for 2 years now and they half laugh about and now the ones paying their checks is talking about it!

It'll perhaps be not the first. As japan has already adopted Bitcoin since this April and the market is going crazy over crypto in Japan. But yeah the vibes coming from Russia is very soothing and exciting for the crypto and blockchain community all over the world. With the Russian central bank talking about a national cryptocurrency.

all cryptocurrencies should be legalised by the government

That will take some time, but it has already started with the Japanese Government's official approval of Bitcoin.

That's certainly not a wise thing for the government and the people. Legalising every cryptocurrency is not an option. Rather government should allow the initiators to find out proper use methods of these cc and observe them, gradually make a decision.

Well now we know that Russia is attempting to be the first government to monopolize cryptocurrency.
Do you think it would be safer to invest in decentralized coins because they will be needed further down the road? Or centralized coins, because theyre backed by strong governments?

Putin's interest in Ethereum is bad news for Ethereum and cryptocurrency in general. This is the beginning of government control of crypto in Russia. https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@infinite-monkey/putin-s-interest-in-ethereum-and-crypto-should-be-cause-for-alarm-not-excitement
