You need to provide proof of RU citzenship/residency to obtain an .ru TLD.
Google is the best I can do for you and this is what came up: http://www.101domain.com/ru.htm
Googling around is probably your best bet bud. Sorry I can't help you out too much in this.
really ? this is bad

@HalfEatenPie allready googled it, thanks For businesses located outside of Russian Federation, the Business Incorporation documents from any country are required.

Ironically, it seems that the same requirements do not exist for the .рф TLD. However, keep in mind that you cannot use ASCII characters for a .рф domain.
Aldryic thanks for your help .рф is the rusian localized .ru ? Don't know anything about .ru domains

Why not registering a .su instead?
"Kids, you tried your best and failed miserably. The lesson learned is: never try."
.рф -> Российская Федерация (Russian Federation)
Just the Cyrillic abbreviation/TLD, same thing as .ru
Aren't those being discontinued/removed?
he need a .ru here http://www.europeandomaincentre.com/pages/price-list/all_domains/europe/ru says that A copy of your business certificate will be requested for the Russian domain.
is the procedure easy ? has anyone tried to register a .ru domain for a company from another country that sell products in russia ?
apt-get -a beer
AFAIK no, they started selling and promoting them again. AFAIK they have an agreement with ICANN to be still allowed to use it until 2042.
To my knowledge, one of the most prominent users of .su (they actually had that domain back when the SU existed, so it isn't a new registration) is the Sternberg Astronomical Institute.

How do all these script kiddies register .ru domains?
I'm actually pretty sure this is not the case. Some Anonymous-related things have lived under a .ru domain, without the person registering it being in Russia.

What stops you from donating a truck of vodka to a Russian citizen and asking him to register a domain for you?
The price of the vodka, I suspect.

That tells me there's a Russian-based registrar that's acting as a reseller, then. I've yet to find a registrar that doesn't require some sort of ID for the domain. *shrug*
@Joepie91 it should be cheaper than in Sweden ;-) And a couple of bottles might do too, depending if you find the right friendly Russian. That would be about 10 EUR.
I edited my post to point at an actual registrar that claims 'domain registration is open to anyone'.

How do all these script kiddies register .ru domains?
Wow, didn't know there was Cyrillic domains!
Gandi.net is very good - Do note that you need a passport copy and the passport number to get .ru domains.
No you don't, a passport copy and the passport number from any country is enough.
Nobody checks the documents or number in reality...
Not yet, .su is still popular and can be registered
Wrong. I have one, though I am not from Russia.
Hrm. Thanks for the correction gents, I must've misread. Who is your preferred registrar, @breton ?
naunet.ru seems to be widely used.
Most of written above is wrong.
http://www.netim.com/domain/ru-domain-name.php / € 14.90 (netim is one of my favourite ccTLDs registrar because wide range of country code TLDs for relatively low price)
Interesting. Admittedly, I've only done cursory glances at .ru registrars, since I haven't really had a need for that TLD. It is amusing that damn near every registrar I've looked at today has different rules regarding requirements.
aldryic.ru buy!
More and more countries lift restrictions on their domain extension and try to earn additional $$. Few years ago I registered few .IT domains. I needed to scan my documents, sign LAR (Letter of Assumption of Responsibility) and fax everything to Italy, just to get in return request to resend copies of my ID with better resolution again... #!"$#"%&%#$#$"!#&... Really pain in the ass procedure. If I remember correct also italians finaly lifted their domain registration requirements.
Well, the domain I have is registered with http://hc.ru. They run offers sometimes and they do it right when I have to prolong the domain :p. Though I'd suggest not to buy from them anything else.
in an Italian way :-) The process has changed and old "Manteiners" were asked to become "Registrars" (with exams and some euros to deposit in advance) and the registration process is now EPP based. Liability and LAR requirement are now in charge of registrar.
I hated so much the registration process that after registering prometeus.it I never registered iperweb.it (so it was taken some time later). At some point (in the 1999 or 2000) we became manteiner but I tried to discourage every client asking/ordering for an it domain (Daniela had to ORDER me to not bug at each .it registration request ;-) )
Yes, they now have EPP which depending on the day and time maybe even works (or not) :D
