About five years ago I had a table at the Pomona military show.
At the time "Russian" collectors/dealers were buying anything with an edge and paid good money. I was even selling Masonic lodge swords to them.
A year or two later I saw a Russian buyer who bought from me earlier. He wasn't interested anymore. I asked him what happened? He said they changed the importation law and that now they could not bring such items into Russia anymore.
He then said something about sending things to Latvia... and having it walked across the border to avoid customs.
