Brazilian Travel to Russia in Brazil: real experience from chats

Short answer
Border control often focuses on the purpose of your visit and your financial means rather than requiring specific accommodation documents. If you need to provide proof, a pre-paid hotel reservation that allows for penalty-free cancellation is simpler and less risky than a formal apartment rental agreement.

From real experience

A Brazilian citizen, planning a tourist trip to Moscow, Russia, is asking for advice on what an apartment rental agreement should look like to successfully pass Russian immigration/passport control.
The alternative suggested is to simply provide a hotel booking confirmation that does not require pre-payment.
