I recommend these guys in Moscow: Mottorrad- Ремонт, тюнинг и техническое обслуживание мотоциклов БМВ
Their shop is kind of out of the way and not super-easy to find (but not super-hard either). They can order anything from Touratech, etc. so while I'm not sure if they have tubeless repair kits on hand they can order one and have it in a couple of weeks (if you have that much time). They've done quite a bit of work on my BMWs and I've been pleased with their work. I should say that tire selection can be quite limited, especially this late in the season, so I suggest that you contact them ASAP to see what they have and/or what they can get for you.
For tubeless repair kits you can also try: Мотосалон Байк Ленд – продажа мотоциклов, квадроциклов, скутеров и снегоходов. KTM, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Arctic Cat, Alpina Sherpa.
They used to have a very nice shop near the center of Moscow but last time I went there (last summer) that shop had closed and they'd moved to a tiny shop with a pretty weak selection other than for helmets. Some of their other shops might be better, but not sure because I haven't been in several years.
For repair kits you can also try Mr Moto: https://citymaps.com/v/russia/ru/mos...1-f06e08ddd1e4
Haven't been to this particular shop, but another shop I went to (also since closed) had a decent selection of various moto equipment.
There are also a handful of BMW motorcycle dealers in Moscow, so you can try them, but from my experience they they focus on selling the expensive suits, helmets, etc. rather than necessities such as tire repair kits. But probably worth a try...
