Domodedovo is much better run than Sheremetevo, so your odds of
obtaining a proper card are good. But I recommend contacting your
local Russian embassy to see if you can obtain a blank card before you
leave.

Is this card in addition to the visa? I don't see the reason behind
having a card since you would normally have you visa checked on arrival,
registered at the hotel (or business, or with the government), then
checked again at departure.
