Russian visa invitations for research trips

[Ben Phillips]

Dear SEELANGers, I have a question for those of you who've done research
trips in Russia over a month long under the current (or recent) visa
regime(s): how do you usually go about securing a visa invitation and a
sponsor for your visit? Will the archives or research institutions you plan
to visit - in my case, RGALI and GARF in Moscow - occasionally help with
this, and, if not, what's the best approach to take?

Many thanks in advance,

Ben Phillips
