Russian Visas
Visalink issue you with the invitations. Actually getting the visa is something you have to do yourself and the details of that are here:

Basically, once you get the invite, you need to fill in a visa application form, attach visa payment (£100 for a multi entry business visa), foto, and a nice neat letter saying who you are (and make something up about looking for investment opportunities in Russia) and away you go. I tend to find it easier to get the visa by post from the Edinburgh consulate (Its much quicker as its less busy). Applying in person at the Russian consulate in London will tie up loads of your time ... its queue city. If you go the edinburgh consulate route (and I advise you to unless you are desperately short of time) you will need to send it in a Special Delivery envelope and enclose a Special Delivery envelope for them to send it back to you. You can also send postal orders to the consulate for payment, but if you front up in person, then you must pay cash.
Contact details for the Edinburgh consulate are:
Consulate General of the Russian Federation
