Russian visas/invitations

[Dassia Posner]

Dear colleagues,
Due to the recent changes in Russian visa processing (no more mail applications), I'm having a bit of trouble sorting out the details for my trip to Moscow this summer.  I'd love some advice.
In the past, the Glinka Museum has (generously) sent my invitation and registered my visa for me after I arrive.
In order to speed up the process, I was considering using a tourist visa this time, as my stay will be less than 30 days.  I will be staying with a friend rather than in a hotel.
Has anyone had trouble going on a tourist visa and then not staying in a hotel?  
Thanks!
Best,
Dassia
