FYI: the NYC Visa Center now asks for a notarized affadiavit giving them permission to submit and pick up your visa application and documents to/from the Russian Consulate on your behalf. They provide this letter for you to get notarized at no extra cost.  
Email them at: [info.nyc@russiavisa-centre.com](mailto:info.nyc@russiavisa-centre.com)  
Or call: 516-728-5084  
Vladimir was very helpful and emailed me all necessary documents and answered my questions.
