The agency I usually use is now charging 2,500 rubles for registering me 
(within 3 days of entering Russia) on a double entry business visa.
 
It used to be 1,700 rubles.
 
I don't have the time (nor the patience) to deal with it on my own so I don't 
mind paying an agency something, however 2,500 seems a bit steep.
 
Does anyone know of a reliable agency who offers a cheaper service?
