I can't believe nobody yet said thanks for this bit of advice.
Certainly, if you don't speak the language, it will be very helpful.
Luckily, I speak Russian and translated my V5C for customs.
Now there is another reason why this might be useful in Russia - if you happen to have an accident and need to make a claim on the other party's policy because they were judged to be at fault. Russian insurance companies will try to wriggle out of paying anything, so a document which translates a V5C into Russian is very useful - alternatively use the customs temporary import certificate - it worked for me.
