question about entering Russia with an Israeli passport

[amelia glaser]

Does anyone have recent experience entering Russia with an Israeli passport?
I have been told that Israeli passport holders (even dual citizens traveling
from the US) do not currently need a visa to enter Russia, and am wondering
if this is actually the case. Does one need proof of a hotel reservation in
order to do this? Is this agreement familiar to border guards?

Thanks,
Amelia
