Wow! Where did you read that? I live in Moscow but didn't hear nothing about that.
BTW, is that good or bad news?
Russians were ALWAYS using mobile payments to access the commercial Internet sites/services etc. Also during many years, Russians use Webmoney and Yandex Money internet payment systems (local equivalents of PayPal). Actually that's why PayPal will never be popular in Russia. And one more thing. You know that Russians almost don't use VISA/MC to pay in Internet. This is not because an average Russian don't have a plastic card, but because they are AFRAID to use their card in the Internet (most of them consider they will be cheated there).
This is a sight directly from Russia.
