Actually there is. German law throws any kind of swastika into the same pot, NS swastika and finnish hakaristi are not kept separate. Ilya already said that the russian law is a "rubber law" that allows various ways of reading it. Which means the situation is as clear as stirred mud for 1C. I doubt they're going to risk a confrontation with the state so they'll play it safe and remove any swastika from the game.
I, too, don't suppose that 1C is going to change its marketing strategy so I guess there'll be one worldwide version (plus a russian one) and that's about it. And the smallest common denominator in that regard is german law which doesn't allow swastikas in a PC game.
