question about entering Russia with an Israeli passport

[trubikhina at AOL.COM]

The easiest way to confirm would be to call a Russian consulate (or go 
to the website of the Russian embassy in Israel or Washington DC) and 
ask this question.

This was hearsay:
I was told that beginning I believe last August, Russians could go to 
Israel
without a visa and Israelis could go Russia without a visa.
Too bad we can't do the same.

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
