In case anyone is interested, I made it in and out of Moscow with my sorry-looking passport and visa. However, there were a few anxious moments.

I got really pissed at the Delta agents in Atlanta (on my way over there) when they told me that they didn’t think they should allow me to proceed. Eventually, they had a change of heart. I used an escort (Aerotour) at Sheremetyevo 2, hoping that they could solve any problem I might have there, upon entry. This turned out to be a very good idea, as the passport control officer did in fact have a problem with my passport and visa, but allowed entry with only a warning for me to acquire a new passport and visa before my next trip. And then upon departure, I was held up about 15 minutes and was given another warning that I should acquire a new passport and visa before my next trip. I am in agreement.

The Russian Consular's office in San Francisco said they would provide a new visa (without my having to acquire a new invitation) for the period remaining on my current visa. Of course, I'll have to pay for the visa, but not having to acquire the invitation will save me $200. :D
