I pulled this from another board this morning.  I called to verify this info and it is true.  According to Alex this only applies to applications that are being submitted on or after May 1st.  

The Russian Consulate has just informed us that *effective immediately* all
MALE US citizens aged between 16 and 45 need to submit, in addition to visa
application, a 2-page questionnaire. Questions range from "experience with
weapons," to "donations to political charitable organizations," to "army
training," etc.

Even though this new form is so new it's not even posted on consular
websites, from years of dealing with consulates, I wouldn't be surprised if
they started rejective visas because of a "missing" form. Russian consulates
have never been known for their logic and thorough thinking. If you're
applying for your Russian visa soon, you can call our office and we'll fax
you this form. It will also be posted on our site tomorrow afternoon. Again,
you only need to fill it out if you're a US citizen, male, and are between
16 and 45 years old.

The only thing these guys left off of this supplemental application, was "what position are you applying for?", and "what is your anticipated salary with the russian government?"

My hands... You do know, they're a deadly weapon... put a dab of Aloe Vera on them and watch out.

Who in there right mind would say they were in the military in the first place... It's like, it's none of their business.

What have they got... Your personnel record on file?
(probably), ha.

I'm submitting my visa app tomorrow and I'm sure even red star travel doesn't know about this... so I'll download it and send it to them.

This is a very important turn of events for many of us. (I love the comment about the "Consular logic". LOL!)

I wonder if this also applies to Transit visas. Hopefully I can avoid ever using Aeroflop via SVO again, but never say never.
