Anyway, if he'll be leaving airport, he will have to go through the customs, and he can't do it without a visa to Russia. No visas are issued on the spot. Transit visas are issued by a Russian consulate abroad, and he needs to apply before travelling to Russia. To get a transit visa usually it is enough to present visa to the country of destination and copy of your travel documents (tickets via Russia) to apply for it. Visa to the country of destination is not required for the citizens of this country and for those foreigners who can enter this country without a visa. Prices for transit visas are usually low, and it is not very difficult to obtain it. As for the period of validity, transit visa is usually issued for 3 days. It is implied that usually transit visas are for people who need to change flights while in Russia and such travelers are allowed to stay at the place of flight change for not more than 3 days.
