Yes. Any social network, instant messenger or anything else which uses crypto will have to share keys so that government can decrypt "anything they like".

So, Facebook will either comply, or it'll have to pay the fine (800k-1m rubles ≈ $15000), or it will be banned.

The law also prescribes for all "organizers of information distribution" to store the voice call recordings for 6 months and to store metadata for 3 years. Nobody is sure what "organizers of information distribution" means, but at the very least it includes all phone calls and instant messages.

Yes, it's crazy.
