Russian Crypto Laws

[Michael Froomkin]

Does anyone know whether

1) the russians have issued any crypto licenses to either russians or
foreigners?

2) whether anyone has been prosecuted for unlicensed crypto use in
Russia?  or even been charged or warned?

[The above may have been dictated with Dragon Dictate/Win 2.0 voice
