When travelling to Russia you must always register when you arrive. This can be done in three different ways****
-If you are staying in a hotel in Russia you can register there.
-You can also visit the company/organisation that issued the invitation and register through them.
-If you are renting an apartment in Russia you must submit a leasing contract to the police in Russia.
Observe that you also ALWAYS must de-register yourself when you leave Russia. You do this at the same place where you registered.
If you forget to de-register yourself this can result in fines, etc.
