How can I receive a letter in Russia?

Answer 1

If you don't know where to address it, you can address it to the city's main post office. In place of adressee's name you can write down "please hold until requested" Do include the return address and name. Go there and ask for a letter from that address. The last 3 digits of the zip code would be 000, the first three you'd have to find out. This is the most ancient way of doing it.

Other than that - just do it the normal way. Write a letter and send it off. Do not mess with the order of the adress. Russian postmen are quite aware of the difference, and they can read English. If you want to make their life slightly easier - ask a friend to write down the address in Russian next to the the one you write in English.
Normal mail works just fine. If you have important stuff send it registered mail or FedEx (yes there is FedEx in Russia)

Answer 2

1) Explain to people in which order they must write your adress
Russian order in the adress differs very much

2) Send them your adress typed as many as necessary, so that they can cut one and stick it on the envelop.

3) Advise them to use the system or "registered letters" which is a strong guarantee that the letter does not fly away

4) Advise them never stick beautiful stamps - russian post employees are ofte addict philatelists

5) In case you letter is VERY important use UPS or similar
very expensive - but it works

6) Don't forget"" Western Union" in case you want to send money in Russia - Works also very well

Answer 3

I really don't understand your question. I was in Russia and received mail from China and the United States. I guess all I can say is if it is addressed properly, you should get it.

Answer 4

1. Have someone mail a letter to your Russian address.

2. Be there when it arrives.

Answer 5

No, you could write it in English. merely verify you have the main appropriate address. you may desire to specify, regardless of the shown fact that, that your sending the letter to Russia, so write Russia merely under the address.
