I hate writing this, but you could just get a multiple-entry visa support through this site for $250 US (apprx ?140), and get a business visa in the Russian consulate by yourself (this would be I don't know how much, but I guess not more than ?100), at least it's not ?510.

Then when you arrive to Moscow our partner visa agency registers you for $50 US for 6 months, you would need to stay in Russia not longer than 6 months, then when you come back (for another 6 months), they register you again for $50 US and you're done.

I know this is still not very cheap, but this is about as cheap as you can get it.
