Russia residence - my journey

You don’t really need one if you can speak basic Russian and are willing to put some effort into the process.
I will update on my experience once I’m in Russia, I’m currently making arrangements to my schedule.
I'm not getting a lot of answers from the one you mentioned and I need to clarify something in regards to the apostille. My country only does it digitally now.
 
I'm waiting for an answer from the consulate of my country of residence as they seem to never check the email / answer.
Yes, this is normal. Been there too.
