Compulsory government charges only. Service fees and anything optional are excluded, which is what makes the figure comparable.
Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Russia, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Russia as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a Russia license
Papua New Guinea and Russia are both party to the 1949 Geneva Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Russia is one Papua New Guinea is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
