Games that they don't want traded over certain borders are locked to the region they are purchased in (see comments above this one :P).

If there is no region lock, you are fine to trade/activate the game. Valve has never made a rule to prevent this and there are tons of these kinds of trades done every day.

I just felt like making this longer.

But I've traded with Russians before all turned out good but I seek out the ones with high rep.

Most games (95%) are not region locked, otherwise russians wouldn't be able to giveaway games on SG.

But some new AAA titles are. So double check that.

Yeah, I'm aware of region locks, but it still sounds like pretty grey area.
