No. Such a boycott is not the best way to help them change their minds. In fact, it's a terrible way, and may even have the opposite effect.
Plus, if boycotts were held against every country with a stupid law, everyone would be boycotted.
That being said, the media is going to be watching, and if there are any arrests under this law, and it's going to get out. At that point, I think there will be some pretty strong pressure against the Russian government.
But again, in this case, I'm not sure if a boycott is the best way to get the message across.
