However, this is so rare and difficult, that for practical purposes, it is impossible. Accordingly, you must leave the Russian Federation not later than 23:59 on expiration date of your visa. If you want to return soon to Russia, you can try going to Ukraine, where people who are not Ukrainian citizens have reported success, in getting Russian visas. I don't know how long this process takes -- you might need to plan on staying in Ukraine for at least a few days. Also, people who are not UK residents can apply for passports from the UK. Otherwise, you can return to the country that issued your passport, and apply for a Russian visa there.
