Here are a couple of Russian and related coins from my collection.
SIBERIA~10 Kopek 1777
MOLDAVIA & WALLACHIA~2 Para/3 Kopek 1773
Even though the Siberian coin has a flan flaw and the Moldavian coin had been previously mounted, these coins are in exceptional condition (IMO). Alot of these are found in poor or mediocre condition.

Thanks Stefanie, I'm glad you like them. You have some very nice specimens too. Here are few more. While not in top grade like the previous list, they are not very easy to come by.
NOVGOROD (REPUBLIC)~AR Denga 1447-1478 AD
GEORGIA (VASSAL)~2 Abazi 1816
ARMAVIR~5 Ruble 1918
KHWAREZM SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~500 Ruble 1340 AH/1922 AD

Thanks! Actually, I was quite impressed with the quality when I first got this one. If your familiar with wire coins, they are usually very hard to find in high grade. Most of them are poorly struck, poorly centered or both. As a result they are very difficult if not impossible to ID. Also, this is larger than average for a wire coin (15 mm Length X 10 MM Width). Most are 10 mm or less. Here is another nice example. This is a wire Kopek issued under Tsar: Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov 1613-1645.
RUSSIA (MUSCOVY)~AR Kopek 1613-1645

Here's my one and only Russian coin, posted on the other thread before I saw this one specifically for Russian coins.
Zantetsuken, thanks for posting those, I hadn't seen any like that before. Neat stuff!

Here are three coins from Khiva/Khwarezm. Khiva was conquered by the Russian Empire in 1873 and although under Russian sovereignty, Khiva had a certain degree of independence. As such, they issued numerous coins with their rulers names inscribed on them. As a result of the revolution in 1917, several territories under Russian control declared independence, and Khiva was no exception. Khiva enjoyed independent rule from 1917 until the leaders Sayyid Abdullah and Junaid Khan were forced to abdicate in 1920. Following this, the name was changed to the Khwarezm Soviet Peoples Republic. Khwarezm was once a powerful empire between the 11th and 13th centuries, and the name was temporarily restored between 1920 and 1925 under the Soviet order. In 1925, the Khwarezm republic was dissolved (along with other central Asian territories) and incorporated into the Soviet republics of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and the autonomous region of Karakalpakia .
The first coin is a 5 Tenge coin from the Khanate of Khiva dated 1337 AH/1919 AD. This was one of few coins issued during the temporary period of self rule. The second is a 20 Ruble coin for the Khwarezm SPR dated 1338 AH/1920 AD. Ironically, although Russia was the first country to adopt a Soviet government, the Khwarezm SPR was the first to issue Soviet coinage. The third is 25 Ruble coin also from the Khwarezm SPR dated 1339 AH/1921 AD.
KHIVA (KHANATE)~5 Tenge 1337 AH/1919 AD
KHWAREZM SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~20 Ruble 1338 AH/1920 AD
KHWAREZM SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~25 Ruble 1339 AH/1921 AD
