1. Russian transit visas face the crowd:

Russian transit visa. Issued to foreign citizens in transit through the Russian Federation.

Russia has not yet implemented a 72-hour visa-free transit system, and there is no airport visa on arrival. When Chinese citizens hold a passport, a connecting ticket with a confirmed date and seat to the final destination country, and a visa for the final destination country, they can transfer at the same airport (except for international flights to domestic flights), and stay for no more than 24 hours Visa-free, the scope of activities is limited to the transit area of the same airport. If you need to transfer flights between different airports in the same city or between different cities in Russia, you need to apply for a valid entry or transit visa in advance.

A transit visa is valid for 10 days (by car or train) or 3 days (by air transport). Transit through Russia directly by plane.
