From real experience

ruleWhen flying from Kyrgyzstan, carrying 100ml of cognac in hand luggage is generally permissible, provided it adheres to standard liquid regulations (containers of 100ml or less, all fitting in a single transparent quart-sized bag).
However, if there are concerns about glass containers or specific airline policies, it's advisable to pack it in checked baggage or purchase it from the duty-free shop. Some sources suggest that while small quantities are allowed, it's safer to place them in checked luggage or buy at duty-free.

tipTopping up the 'Tulpar' transport card (Kyrgyzstan) from Russia can be challenging.
Recommended methods include: 1. Obtaining a local Kyrgyz bank card (e.g., MBank, Obank) using a Russian passport and Kyrgyz phone number, then transferring funds from Russian cards. Be aware of potentially unfavorable exchange rates from Russian banks. 2. Cash top-up via terminals. 3. Some users suggest trying transfers from different Russian banks due to potential errors.
