as far as i know if you are originaly from russia and you go to other country your account will keep with rubles but store will have a different currency and you wont be able to buy anything (not even with ?cc=ru) and steam support wont help as well but with teamviewer or vpn/proxy it will work BUT steam is a bitch and they will eventually ban you if you do it often
edit: i forgot but as antipativome said some region locks wont let you even play outside russia :/

Yup. You live in Europe now, you have to pay European prices.
If you get caught by Valve, they can and will kick you to the curb.
As for playing games out of region, sometimes it's fine, but sometimes it isn't. I had a Japanese version of the Hitman Sniper Challenge, that played fine while I lived in Japan, and then stopped working when I moved to USA. But years later it started working again. Why? Nobody knows.

bullshit, i activated hundreds of CiS keys in the past and nowadays, nothing can happen, its the free border economy law in EU that allows eu citizens to be allowed to activate and buy from cheaper sources

If your steam account was created in Europe, you can only purchase games in Europe, activating RU games using Teamviewer or VPN will be a violation of Steam TOS; whether or not Valve is going to hunt you down for that is another story. Accounts can be tied only to a single region at a time, changing that setting requires contacting Support and proving that you moved to another country.

I am russian who lives in Europe for 2.5 years already. Will I get banned if I buy and activate gifts in rusian store and then connect to my PC in Russia through Teamviewer and redeem them there? :) I cannot see which SSA rules I will break in this case... And as far as I know, all new region locks concern only activation process, so I will be able to launch any such a game here in Europe... Correct me if I am wrong or give me advice please!
