Official operator websites accept only Russian credit cards and some cards from xUSSR countries (Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan mainly).

The cheapest way to recharge is order Russian card here:

They can deliver it to your country by regular mail, but topping up this card can be tricky too.

Also you can easily use WebMoney or QIWI systems to recharge any Russian number. Register WME (Euro) or WMZ (US $) account, exchange it to the WMR (RUR), then go to Payments area and recharge any Russian number for 0.8%.
