According to the rules, a copy of the internal passport is required for visa processing. Here it can just be found out that under the laws of the Russian Federation this passport has long been invalid, since, like a civil citizen, it must be replaced within a month after the change of name. However, the visa can open at the visa center, closing your eyes to the mismatch of names, but when crossing the border, the responsibility for using a virtually invalid document falls entirely on you.

On the other hand, it is possible to use the current foreign passport to the old name without presentation of a civil passport when traveling to a visa-free country. Please note that on the results of the Seoul Summit on November 13, 2013, Russia and South Korea signed an agreement on introducing a visa-free regime from January 1, 2014, which will allow tourists from the Russian Federation to freely stay in Korea for up to 60 days, and in total - no more than 90 days during the 180-day period.
