i saw news on summer that said that Sberbank had bought 1.4 trillion rubles of bonds. and VTB probably also bought several 100 billions, so you could say that around half of them are going to state owned banks.

Has to be more. Who would buy? Only those with funds trapped in an account they are trying to get out. Or money needing laundering. Do you really think they check source?
Well there are dozens of other banks too in russia. Ive only seen numbers from Sber. I wouldnt be suprised at all if FSB have been demanding all banks to buy Goverment bonds or else... im also really curious who even buys this :D
