Plan a trip of 60 days or fewer. Beyond that, Russia needs a different permission and this page does not cover it.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Do Not Travel
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all travel to Russia. The risks stem from the continuing invasion of Ukraine, including drone attacks and Russian air defence activity, and terrorists are highly likely to attempt attacks, including in major cities. British nationals face a heightened risk of detention by the Russian authorities.
