Interesting about the auto tourism visa. I have had many many Russian visas and never heard of one, and you certainly don't have to have one of these--a normal visa works just fine.
Also, I don't really see what the advantage of the auto tourism visa would be for the traveller, maybe less paperwork at the border (but I doubt it). I suspect that whether you have an auto-tourism visa or not, you'll still have to fill out the paperwork for the temporary customs import.
