How long will it take to receive an e-Visa once I have applied?

Usually, it takes no longer than 4 days to receive an e-Visa, but this depends on your visa operator and their e-Visa program requirements.

The following regions of Russia currently allow foreign citizens to enter the borders with a valid e-Visa:
