Hallo. I'm in moscow now, and I have a tourist visa already registered here in Moscow. I decided to go to abakan and khakassia for about ten days, but in my visa list of cities to be visited in Russia i wrote just Moscow. Do anyone knows if It could be a problem to go to a city not written indicated in the visa? Do I have to register my visa again in the other cities I will visit this month, or it's enough the first registration in Moscow?
Thank you

It doesn't matter that these cities were not written in your visa support, now that's not a problem anymore. If you look at your visa, there is no cities listed in it.

As for the registration, officially you need to register your visa in every city you stay in longer than 3 nights. If you stay in a hotel, they will do it for you. The problems that you might have if you don't register can only be with cops, if they stop you to check the documents (you will need to pay a fine), there will be no problems with passport control upon your departure, as you have your visa registered already in Moscow. However, for a cop at any city there is no way to know how long ago you arrived... maybe it was 1 day ago, maybe 10, maybe the train ticket is lost... Maybe you just arrived 1 day ago and was just going to make a registration...
