Hi Nick, I read somewhere that the best thing to do if one wants to file as a private entrepreneur is to go for a residence permit as opposed to a visa.
I think that it makes sense, since if you get a residence permit (temporary or "permanent," which is isn't really permanent) you are afforded many of the same rights as Russian citizens have and therefore dealing with all of the paper chase that opening up a business involves is easier.
