Putin is a champion of organic farming and gardening (meaning urban households growing some of their own food in allotments). Russia said no to GMO food. During COVID they developed their own vaccine (Sputnik) from an existing anti-influenza vaccine and the Russian defence people have been releasing evidence of Western Big Pharma using labs in the Ukraine to do gain of function on lethal pathogens (as well as reseach on the genome of local Russians). There is no way on earth Russia is ever going to trust the West on biotech. None.
As for banking, Russia's banking system is separate from the Western one. The ties between the Russian central bank (a real fifth column of Western influence) and the West are being slowly but deliberately severed. Anything digital may well follow or complement Chinese practice in one way or another. The whole issue of settlement and exchange via digital platforms is very complicated but I doubt that Russia is going to allow itself to be yoked to anything that is being pimped by the WEF.
