Question 7 states Purpose of visit to russia? which the answer is Tourism. Then below that it asks "Company or organization in Russia to be visited or name and reference no of Russian tour agency". On my invitation letter it states "Intercentre Gumanitarnogo Servisa" up in the top right corner of the letter. It also states reference #0060 MVT no:002228. It also states the hotels I am staying at. Would I put "Intercentre Gumanitarnogo Servisa ref #0060 MVT no:002228" for this question or should I put "Intercentre Gumanitarnogo Servisa ref #0060" or should I put something completely different? Thanks for your help

However, I am concerned that the organization has in its name 'Humanitarian Service", which would seem to be inconsistent with Tourism as your purpose of visit. There is (I have heard) a special type of visa for humanitarian workers. A tourist invitation comes (without any exception, as far as I know) from a hotel or travel company (agency, tour operator, etc.) My concern is that the consulates look (quite logically) for inconsistent information. For example, saying "Tourism" on a Business visa is likely to cause trouble. I suggest that you contact the folks who helped you obtain your invitation, explain your problem, and ask them for guidance.
