Ask HN: Is it legal to bring encrypted devices to Russia?

I am travelling to Russia on business soon (not for the first time) and I intend to take my laptop which is protected by BitLocker. A colleague has pointed out that it's illegal under Russian law to 'import encryption technology' and he thinks that applies to me. Our risk department has now got involved and I can't really find any definitive evidence to support either side of the argument.

Does anyone know what the position is?

Thanks
