Yes that is the way to go Sante - that would get included within the week.

I've not had an opportunity to try a dedicated Russian site on a gTLD (com/net/org/info) but I believe this would be fine too. The key criteria for Yandex is that they see the site as Russian. That selection seems to be done on language (rather than location).

They aren't keen on having their index inundated with non-Russian material. Although they are meant to be able to index Russian language pages from a multilingual site, in practice this has a lot of problems (i.e. keeps dropping in/out of the index, or finds it hard to get indexed at all). A dedicated Russian site is safe bet and will give you far less stress.
