Ironically, Russian central bank recommended complete ban of crypto like 3 weeks back while their finance ministry was pushing to make it more main stream. I guess people at the Central bank didn't get the memo about the rogue invasion. Its the same story in many countries including India, EU, IMF. Central banks don't see beyond their own noses when it comes to also taking geopolitics into account. Seems like they all study the same stale theories in universities and give the same stale recommendations.

The job of the Russian central bank is to safeguard the Russian economy.

It reminds me of German civil servants who ran the numbers and advised Hitler that the country was going to lose. Recommendations are worthless when politicians ignore them and declare war anyway.
