I've obtained numerous multiple-entry business visas for Russia in recent years, all of them valid for one year.
The process is not at all simple or easy. You will need an invitation from a Russian business. The whole process takes about 8 weeks to complete.
In each case, my company used a visa agency that specialized in Russian visas to do all the work. Total cost averaged about $800 per visa - that included the agency fees as well as visa fees, courier fees and other disbursements.
It's not cheap, it's not easy, and there is nothing you can do to speed the process up. Start at least 8 weeks ahead of time, I can't emphasize that point enough. It is impossible to accelerate the process.
