Do I (US citizen) need a visa for flying OUT of Kazakhstan via Russia?

score:2

Accepted answer

Answering my own question:

I have called the airline to confirm, and the answer is that in this kind of situation one does not need a visa provided that they stay in the international transit area of the airport for less than 24 hours.
