TL;DR
Ask the booking platform for the hotel's digital confirmation code 2–3 days before arrival. Show this code at reception; a printed voucher may not be necessary.
Two or three days before check-in, request the hotel's digital confirmation code from Yandex Travel or another platform. Reception staff can use this number to locate the reservation in their system.
If you do not have a voucher, tell reception that the reservation was made through a Russian booking platform and show the confirmation code. The hotel can use it to find the booking and check you in.
Ostrovok is mentioned as an alternative to Yandex Travel for hotel bookings. Whichever platform you use, obtain the hotel's own confirmation code in advance rather than relying only on the booking email.
