I'm afraid it will not but I'm not sure. Anyway, it depends. SIMs are nothing more serious than a calling card here (except of the registration), for example, I mean they give them as presents when you buy a phone or so on, so I guess it will be possible for you to have no problems with getting a SIM. I can directly call the Moscow MegaFon support line in Moscow and ask them if a foreigner can register their SIM for himself this way. Should I? Whatever they say, it could be much more relaxed at a dealer shop, keep this in mind.
