Since the risks are higher for accepting a bribe in US dollars, does this mean that it will now take even MORE US dollars to get the same favors?

This will never fly. Moscow has a huge tourist industry - New Arbatskya is a major tourist area with McDonalds and Baskin Robbins.

Banning mention of economic indicators in terms of hard currency is a first step in hiding and/or manipulating information about the state of the economy. You mean like this?
On March 23, 2006, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will cease publication of the M3 monetary aggregate. The Board will also cease publishing the following components: large-denomination time deposits, repurchase agreements (RPs), and Eurodollars.
