Visa
You need to get the visa in your home country. A 30 day visa will cover you easily between Ukraine and Kaz' can't remember the cost. Forget the green card for russia they won't recognize it. I bought insurance on the Rus/Ukraine border, 30 days for about $20. This was checked at every road block in Rus ( that's a lot of road blocks)
To return to Rus from Kaz i had to DHL my passport to a visa agency in London as the Rus embassy in Bishkek ( Kyrgistan) would not issue a visa even though I had an excellent letter of recomendation etc.
This process took about 3 weeks and cost me in excess of $300. This was for a double entry business visa. You will not be issued a business visa unless your passport already contains a 30 day Russian visa!
Nightmare.
