Update Mac OS X Leopard to Snow Leopard from Russia

You can buy the $29 upgrade from a non-Apple store that will ship to Russia. Maybe Amazon ships there

Purchase update using Apple Re-store I can't because I live in Russia. Our resellers will be sell only full version. But I don't want full version, just update for 29$.

Snow Leopard is a full version, whatever that means. Apple is not selling anything but the $29 version advertised. It is not an 'update.' It is Mac OS X 10.6.

That would be the "drop-in" upgrade that Apple provided for people who bought Tiger systems after the shipping of Leopard. It was never sold by Apple.

And I've thought that this DVD for 29$ also just can update.

That may or may not be true. However, there isn't any other version available. So, if the resellers in Russia are not going to sell an 'update,' then they won't be selling Snow Leopard.

From Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.):

*"Snow Leopard is an upgrade for Leopard users and requires a Mac with an Intel processor."*

I don't recall any previous "reference" release of the OS ever being referred to in this way; IOW, as a upgrade for a previous reference version.

My point was that the "Upgrade" is the 10.6 full version. There doesn't appear to be any other offering. Whether it can install on a blank hard drive is yet to be seen, but as far as Snow Leopard (10.6) goes, based on the press releases and the Apple website, the "upgrade" is the "full version."
