The Fulbright scholar was arrested on drug charges in January and convicted of obtaining, posessing and distributing marijuana.
Russia also accused him of being a spy, although officials never filed spy charges against him.
The case has strained U.S.-Russian relations, prompting President Bush to request Tobin's release almost two weeks ago.
Tobin still needs to obtain an exit visa to leave the country.

((They are gathered for a murder mystery here on the remote foggy plain
known as Dartmoor.Everyone knows who did it...or at least, they
thought they did.
More than fifty diehard fans from all over the world, are celebrating
one hundred years, since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle committed murder with a
pen, when he published that Sherlock Holmes favourite, the Hound of the
Baskervilles.
British weather cooperated...by turning distinctly awful.
MOS-Sherlock Holmes fan
...we're actually grateful for a little bit of mist, more hound-like,
don't you think?'
Like the mist, the plot is thickening. Now a British historian
says...Sir Arthur stole the credit for the story from co-author, and
best friend Bertram Fletcher Robinson, then arranged to have him
poisoned by his own wife, who was being blackmailed by Doyle.
SOT Roger Garrick Steele/Historian
'She applied the laudanum poisoning, according to Doyle's specific
instructions, and Gladys in fact murdered her own husband, to save
Doyle's neck.'
These fans don't think much of that, but it certainly gave them
something to talk about.
SOT-PHILIP WELLER, Sherlock Holmes Expert
'There is no truth in it.'
(Location: London /KIMBERLY DOZIER )
While we're debunking myths and legends, it's worth mentioning... There
may be a Sherlock Holmes Museum here, there's a Sherlock Holmes pub
around the corner, but the detective himself...is about as real as this
British bobby. (point to model)
sot-PHILIP WELLER, Sherlock Holmes Expert
'People have got such a fascination about him, they've imagined he's a
real person. People have been arrested in countries all over the world
who've written him, to ask him to help them prove their innocence.'
Even if he was real, the English detective would be well past a hundred
by now. But then, with fresh controversies and devoted fans like these,
the memory of Sherlock Holmes will surely be around for years to come
