We did the same and had no problems, other than the agency we used for our home study was slow. But that seems to be the norm where we are. Personally, I feel that the agency that's facilitating the adoption in Russia is the most important part of the equation, and you should go with the one you are most comfortable with. The home study is only a part of the process, and it's more important to know you have an agency you trust working for you on the actual adoption part of the journey.
