About the foreign virtual cards, can you please give me a link where I can get one? Being searching for a long time, only found scam. All legitimate ones require proof of address.
Kazakh and Belarusian banks open cards for Russians with no questions asked. There are services that do it online for you. You only need a passport (the international kind).
Georgia is also a good choice, but you need to be physically present in the country. (It's a nice place though, but maybe not in August.) I don't recommend Armenia, the banks here have cracked down on tourists opening cards, and if you see someone offering you an Armenian card it's 100% a scam.
I heard of Georgian banks closing people's accounts with a week's notice for being "high risk" or something. It's a gamble.
In Armenia, at least when I visited in December, I was told that "if you want an Armenian card, it can be done in 2 days for 25000 rubles that you put in your account". Not sure which bank it was.
I also know people who opened cards in Indonesia and Turkey.
Yes, back then there was an Armenian bank that could get you a card for a crapload of money but no supporting documents. Since then, they've fallen in line with the others, and now they want a rent agreement and a local job.
