What?
Emails use MX records, not A records, which means you can host your email with Yandex (set your MX records correctly) and have your website hosted somewhere else by setting the correct A records.
OP has a domain currently parked with Yandex and wants to make it so the domain can still be used when people try accessing it. In short, it will take a combination of MX and A records to make this possible.
I think if you want to use Yandex for email, you just need to add MX records

Yes I know how to do that, I was asking how to have my domain point to another site WHILE using Yandex`s nameservers. But I just decided against it and parked it on my server and just used there MX record as it would be the least amount of email downtime.
Use your registrar's DNS servers, and point A records to the other site, MX records to yandex's mail servers.
