Hey, it's not as easy as all that. Don't really have time to get into it. Have a look at this thread

I'm just back from Moscow, you have to get a letter of invitation from
the hotel you are staying in, then you have to apply to the Russian embassy here in dublin for the visa, I think its about 90euro if you want to get it while
you wait.

The flights are about 300euro, I went with czech airlines via prague.

I've been over in Moscow for pretty much the last 6 months with work and its a great city!! It's a beautiful city and there's so much to do there. The people will across as pretty rude but are actually really friendly.
You can get a letter of invitation from a hotel but you should organise this as soon as possible.
