The normal insurance covers only about 10 000 Euros, so if there is an accident you have to pay the rest out of your pocket. Take full insurance.
A 20 euro bill in your passport will easier things at the Russian border.

Hi,

I went through all the post on car issues but couldn't find answer on the following.

First of all, I didn't get a 'tempory import certificate' or a 'temporary permit' (I assume it's the same) when I crossed the border from Ukraine to Russia in early February. Did something change regarding regarding these certificates? I also don't have any custom declaration for the car. In case, it's important: I am German but I lived in Ukraine and have Ukrainian liscence plates on my car. I am a bit horrified. Where should I get this certificate now?

Secondly, I am going to live in Russia for several years and need to get the car registered here. At the registration office, they want a customs declaration, which I don't have. Do I have to drive back to the border or can I get the declaration in Moscow?

Thanks for your help,

Andreas

Andyb597,
Your situation is rather unique and I think you need to get a complete list of what the registration guys are asking for and then if necessary, you will need to cross the border properly and get the customs declaration. In all probability there are special rules for ukrainian registered cars - CIS and all that. I don't know more - sorry.
