Go for tourist (easiest to get) or business visas (most flexible, and easy to get for a price). Consult a visa agency to help you out. Photocopy of a passport means only the relevant pages: the personal particulars page and any modifications, new photos etc. See: http://www.waytorussia.net/RussianVisa/

It is the easiest kind and you have complete freedom of movement in the country. Take your girlfriend out to a nice hotel for the weekend and you will get your registration stamp. Don't try to deal with the hassles of a private visa.

I dont understand why everyone is saying dont get a private stay visa? He is leaving in the summer time. You have plenty of time to recieve a Private Stay Visa. I got one and i took a little over a month to recieve. You need to photocopy passport main pages and give basic info about u to ur girl. She will then write letter to ovir saying that she will host u during ur stay in Russia. You then have to wait for Inivitation to be made this is the part where u wait for 1 month exactly and it will be made and your girl will pick it up at OVIR and mail it to u. Tell her to mail it express that way u will get it in 4 days. Then u have to mail your Invitation, Passport, Visa Applications and a money order to the Russian Consulate in U.S. Depending on how much you pay the more you pay the faster it will be made. 150$ for 3 business days, 100 for a week, 200 for next business day. I know you will be okay doing it like this.
