Entry details
Holders of a Zimbabwe passport need an e-visa, applied for online when visiting Russia. The Zimbabwe passport currently ranks #143 of 199 worldwide, with 61 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
Russia is relatively guarded about who it admits, admitting 63 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #78 with 117 open destinations. Access is actually lopsided the other way — Russia citizens enter Zimbabwe more easily (visa on arrival).
In the opposite direction, Russia citizens travelling to Zimbabwe face: visa on arrival.
