Do I need a visa for the UAE if I have an electronic passport?

I'm planning to fly to Dubai in September, but I haven't renewed my foreign passport yet, though I've already gotten an electronic passport. Can I travel there with just the electronic one, or do I definitely need a regular foreign passport? And do I need a visa at all if I have an electronic document?

An electronic passport won't work for flights - you absolutely need a travel passport. A visa for the UAE for Russian citizens can be obtained either on arrival or in advance through a tour operator, but only if you have a valid travel passport.
