General instructions for international payments to banks in RUSSIAN FEDERATION:

Residents must notify tax authorities of any foreign-maintained accounts.
Cross-border payments require support documentation submitted to the Russian correspondent bank before releasing payments.
Payment instructions must include all country-specific information. This is mandatory along with the standard remittance information to avoid cancellation of the RUB payment.
Ordering Customer must include account number, full name (no initials), and address. Incorrect details can delay the receipt of funds by the beneficiary.
