Moscow

OK, it would appear that you want to do two Boston-Moscow returns.

Moscow is an orphan route on 1W, that is only one way in and out, that is BA via London, when it comes to AONEx fares. You cannot use SU aircraft on this arrangement.

The following routes for the two tickets are valid.

1. BOS-LHR-DME-LHR-HKG-North America-BOS
2. DME-LHR-BOS-North America-HKG-LHR-DME

This might be an expensive way of doing it. It would depend on how much time you had available for slight side trips and if you have other business in other places. BA to DME is J/Y configured only so you are not gaining anything by being on a First ticket. If you had the time to drop down to Portugal on the way back from trip one then you could save yourself thousands by buying the special first fare from there.

Out and backs to Portugal to buy this fare are possible. I would need more detail but I think we could save thousands of USD this way, if you have an afternoon or so.

The alternative may be to, excuse the expression, "go to HEL and back" but we can work on that if you give me some idea of flexibility.
