Sure. Don't know how much Russian you know, so forgive me if I'm a
little *too* helpful...

This is the name of their bank and its location. АКБ is just акционерный
коммерческий банк (joint-stock commercial bank). The actual name of the
bank is ТатИнвестБанк (TatInvestBank), but you should probably list it
as "AKB TATINVESTBANK" on any forms you fill out. Then г.Казань of
course is "City of Kazan"; you can omit the "city" bit.

The three numbers that are most important, I would think, are the last
three. But check with your financial institution for what they need on
their forms.
