I was stopped once by the Russian police once in Moscow. They did a pretty thorough inspection of my Passport, Visa & Registration documents, so at a minimum you'd need a copy of all three. Granted this was right prior to a holiday so they were stopping a lot of people, so if you aren't around holiday/special events you might be okay. I know presidentcarter was stopped during the same time frame and somehow managed to wiggle away on an expired visa, nonetheless, so you experience may vary.
