The phone number of the Vsesoiuznoe Obshchestvo slepykh (now must be
renamed into "vserossiiskoe") - which I believe used to be somewhere near
Staraia Ploshchad', not the Prospect Mira - must be in any current Moscow
phone book.
My memory of this organization  some 7 years ago is as of a very
bureaucratic and formal structure but things might have changed.
Good luck,
