Russian Central bank’s pilot project is NOT the first Ethereum technology in Russia. Indeed, Russian State Development bank VEB has already agreed to use Ethereum technology for some of their administrative functions.

Can we conclude that Putin has endorsed Ethereum by meeting Vitalik Buterin?

I don't beleive that anybody would disagree with this. Thus, there is a direct Russian impact on Ethereum prices.

Hence, Russian impact on Ethereum prices will be massive. Just yesterday Ethereum price has hit $410+ levels. Indeed we are projecting to see Ethereum prices to go as high as $550 as an initial Ethereum Price Forecast. It is like the use of internet and computer technologies. There was a time when we said that computers are for scientists, now, they are everywhere. So, why would blockchain technology and cryptocurrency not replace the money as we know?

Final comment on Ethereum price fluctuation:  such level of fluctuation is not common in financial world as we know. However, since the Crypto coins are at their infant stages we could still expect further fluctuations in the market. It should continue until there is equilibrium.
