i thought those trades were allowed... not in a massive amount of course
what if someone from Russia wants to gift you a game?

It's not region locked though, if you purchase it as a giftable/tradable item, is it? Otherwise, for example, if someone here on SG is giving a game that they've bought in the Russian teritory, the game is region locked - which is NOT true.

You can't get banned if you for example order some russian guy to buy a game and then trade that for TF2 keys. The russian guy can however get banned. This is not against the TOS, and if it was trading would be really risky, since a giftable copy MAY have been originated from Russia from the beginning, and therefore you could be banned. Read it all if you misunderstood, you CANNOT GET BANNED FOR TRADING WITH RUSSIANS! Trying to use a VPN to activate a region restricted game, or to login to the russian steam to buy a game etc etc is however bannable.
EDIT: CoD is region locked, the russian you want to trade with is obviosuly scamming you, or you are just stupid trying to bypass the region restriction.
EDIT2: Apparently it's not locked, or... uh

If the game is not locked, then no. You would be banned for using VPN to activate (if the game was locked)
Trust me, I'm a trader and got a bunch of games from Russia.

Some games are region-locked and you can't activate them in any country, excluding Russia. All the others can be traded whoever you want. I live in Russia and trade some games to my american-european friends, none of us never had a problem with that.
Also, if we talk about MW2, steam copy of the game will be activated as usual, but don't accept retail keys of the game, you won't be able to activate them.
