I think I have everything. I need to find a police certificate and translate it. In terms of my tongue, "what the hell is this?" Where do you get it?
Police certificate is a record usually obtainable from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. One is needed from every place (country) lived at for more than 6 months since age 18.

The nearest branch of the MVD in Russia where your fiance lives.
Available. Russian law (MVD Order no. 965, dated November 1, 2001) mandates that the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) provide police certificates both to Russian citizens and to foreigners who have lived or are living in Russia. The law states that in Russia, MVD offices must provide the certificate within 30 days. Those residing outside of Russia, both Russian citizens and non-citizens, may either delegate a Power-of-Attorney to apply for the certificate on their behalf in Russia, or apply directly to the Russian Consulate. Police certificates should note all names that the person has used in Russia, and should note the MVD branches in all locations that were queried.
