Why do you need help quickly please?
I would suggest to use the title only when on the road and in help of need. You have plenty of time to prepare yourself. Or at least you had.
Can you choose which passport you use or do you mean that you will travel in a group with all those nationalities?
Read this about getting visas on the road for Russia. Transit visas should probably work out.
You still have time to arrange a normal tourist visa for the direction to Russia, or even a double entry business visa for 3 months for example.
And clarify which "stans", there is a big difference which country.
But still most visa info is available online.

Usually you can buy insurance at the border.
Road taxes you have to pay in Kirgistan. about 10$ at entry.

Travel the stans
Hi,
As you travel the stans the Pamir Highway is a must do.
On the Kyrgyz side the backcountry highlands are very recommendable. For instance Song Köl, the Kazarman route or then towards Issiköl Tosor pass for the beaten road lovers.

Most agents should be able to line you up with a 12 month multi entry business visa (6 months total allowable time in country). I was quoted a bit under £500
As already advised, insurance can be bought at the borders
