I encountered this problem with my flight from the US to Vladivostok last year. I was told by Korean Air that, because of Russian laws, I would be denied boarding for the flight to Vladivostok if I did not have a return ticket. My solution was to buy a fully refundable one way return ticket, resulting in no actual cost to me except that a lot of money was unavailable for several weeks.
Despite what I was told by the airline, at no point during this trip was my return ticket asked for and checked - not in Salt Lake City, not in LA, not in South Korea and not in Vladivostok.
