Regarding medical insurance for entry into the Czech Republic, specifically when traveling from another Schengen country like Italy: Russian Federation issued insurance may be acceptable, but it's recommended to confirm specifics with your insurance provider due to potential inter-country agreements. If your travel itinerary includes a flight from Czechia to Moscow (likely with a layover, e.g., in Baku), it is advisable to declare the transit country accurately to avoid potential scrutiny by the consulate. The requirement for medical insurance can be more strictly enforced by countries currently not issuing visas to Russian citizens, so ensuring compliance is important.
