My wife is Russian and we regularly send items from food to perscription drugs to Yoshkar-ola,500 miles east of Moscow. and we us the U.S. Postal services. As long as the package is registered the Russians will not steal it. For computer parts or medicine use American Express. We have even sent $500 this way! It ussually arrives in under 7 days.
For bulk items like food or books ship it by sea. It will arrive in two months.
However do not insure anything for more than $99 dollars. If your item is insured for more than 100 then the customs agents will charge the recipients %35 of its value.
