Is an email-created contract binding in Russia when only one party signs it and no physical copy exists?

Question

A Moscow-based supplier and I agreed to a service via email; there is no written paper contract. The supplier now backs out, claiming no binding agreement. What counts as binding evidence under Russian law, and what remedies are available for breach of an email-formed contract?
