If you've bought a game and it became region blocked, you can still play it. I have 2 games in my library which are not available in my region, but I can play them.

Are you going to create a thread like this for every game you plan to buy? Why don't you do some work yourself and figure it out?

I know the answer but I definitely won't help you since you won't do anything on your own and always rely on others. Learn to figure out things on your own instead of creating a thread for every game you want to buy from a Russian store.

Go for Ukraine version, that will be safest way, I guess. It's for $22.50 , so it's more or less same price russia have (not sure about exact exchange rates, but 630 rubies is around $20), and Ukraine version have same ID (14680) as European version. US version have different ID (14815), but that's probably caused by different DLC they give as bonus. And Russian version (15335) have same DLC as Ukraine and European version, so there must be some other difference.

No problemo. Just remember, I have no idea if russian version have any kind of region block or not. But, they might put some blocks in last days/at release. So, if you want to risk, you can try getting RU version, or get one from Ukraine for probably something around 5$ more.

Little question , if I bought the russian game and its region lock , can I active it to my steam ?

Not without going to Russia - either physically, or by using VPN (but, when you do that Valve might and can disable your account). And, depending on region lock, while most are just activation locks, there are few games with playing locks.

It is against Steam ToS now to buy stuff in not your region. If you want to check if the game is regionlocked, get yourself a CDR viewer and scan the subscription IDs for the name of the game. If none of the subIDs have "onlyallowrunincountries" key, you're in the clear. But it can be added at the last week or so, preorders are tricky.

Wasn't it always against Steam ToS - since you couldn't buy anything from other region without VPN? Or did they changed this around and said you can't have games not from your region (ergo, no trading or gifting)?
