>forces use of the Ruble in government

It's not only in government, it bans use of word "dollar" in press, Internet, TV for everybody except companies dealing internationally! (Read the law).

You go! Tell em! It's not just governement transactions or mention of transactions even. It's a law for everyone basically.

Ok how about
"Russia forces the use of the Ruble in economy.."?

Either way, the point is that the original headline is inflammatory.
