Coming over from the Crimea, I am going to make a sham reservation for one night in a hotel Sochi to get my visa registered for my whole stay. But I don't want to stay in Sochi at all, as I am going to trek in the Russian Caucasus. Now, will the hotel just stamp my visa on the spot, and I am free to go, or will they submit it to the OVIR, which will take up to four days? Thanks for any hint, harzer

Also, you may need to register at other places where you will go as well.
