I'd recommend to buy your tickets using the passport you will use when you fly OUT — that's what's gonna be checked by the airline. If you just use your Russian passport to get into Russia, you don't need it for the tickets. However, when you fly out of Russia you can show your foreign passport you bought the tickets for and that should work.
