Or Russia, where piracy is legal (AFAIK).

piracy (in the sense of sharing copyrighted content with others) and bypassing DRM is illegal in nearly every country of the world, subject to the Berne convention and the WIPO treaty

it literally says "the possibility is being considered". Nothing concrete. Rutracker has been unbanned (afaik), but that's it. That doesn't mean shit about whether you can get sued, it just means the government will be more "hands-off" in regulating Western media piracy. They are still part of the WIPO and other treaties and can't not recognize other countries' IP unless they denounce those treaties, which would be stupid to do.
