Hi!
Hm..the official rule reads: Your residence can be proved using official government-issued residency papers. This must be a document that clearly shows that you are a resident of the country you live in (e.g. a residence card). Documents such as bills, rental contracts or bank statements cannot be used. Working visas and/or travel visas can also not be used as proof of residency. The residency field of a passport can also not be used as proof of residence.
Pete...?

Hi.
I don't know how your student visa looks like - but don't you need something more to stay in Russia? Is this visa enough? Don't you get something more as residency document ?
My opinion is that the student visa is NOT enough to be able to buy Interrail.
