The stamp is only affixed to an original of the established form and in good condition. A laminated document, a Soviet-era form or one with corrections will not be apostilled: you need a duplicate first.
No legalisation needed
The treaty of 25 August 1998 between Russia and Vietnam on legal assistance and legal relations in civil and criminal matters, in force since 2012, replacing the 1981 USSR–Vietnam treaty is in force between Russia and Vietnam: public documents are accepted without an apostille or consular legalisation. There is no fee to pay and no stamp to wait for.
No translation needed
Russian is accepted in official use in Vietnam. If a particular institution does ask for a translation, it can be done locally.
