Russia does not allow pirate software. Your link is about discussion about legitimizing pirate software which didn't happen. I don't know why people think that Russia is some kind of pirate heaven, that's not true.
Don't know why you are downvoted. People can use pirated software at home perhaps and authorities here do not break into you flat to check if you use pirated Photoshop copy but organizations use officially bought licenses, I do not remember when was last time I saw something pirated in companies.
Also can confirm, the initiative to allow pirated software was rejected for now.
