Your safest bet is to get a bank account and have them wire the money via a Russian bank. It will take awhile though.

Bank transfer is the best way to safely move money internationally. Western Union limits are fairly low -- typically @$300. How old are you? You must be over 18 to open a bank account. If you're over 18, you should already have an account -- it's crucial!
