Border controls on exit are only interested in your Passport and Migration Card.
Once you had to surrender your Registration to them on exit like you still do with the Migration Card. But no more.
Quite recently on exit I absentmindedly gave them my Registration slip as it was still inside my Passport (I normally keep both papers in my Pasport) but they immediatly gave it back to me without even looking at it. Their interest is that you are still within your Visa dates and taking back the Migration Card.
Registration is more a matter for the Militsia Police but they are not bothered as they think it is a matter for FMS - who have no police! The Road Police (ДПС) have no right to look at anything other than your Driving and Vehicle documents - but they try it on in the hope of persuading you to part with money!
I know of people who have crossed all of Russia without a Registration (eg. camping).
Dont worry - but pick them up where you can just to have something.
