Hi,

Basically, if you're traveling to Russia to stay with a friend then he could also make a private invitation, then you could just put his apartment address in the application. In your case, you want to get a tourist visa, but for a tourist visa there should be a prepaid / prebooked accommodation listed in the visa support document.

The tourist visa application form on http://waytorussia.net/Services/VisaSupport/Tourist.html proposes a list of hotels in each city, but if you did not decide yet where you're going to stay, you can select any option and then after you have the order number, before making the payment, contact the visa support company that offers this service and ask them to put your accommodation on the accommodation list in the visa support document. So if it's your friend's place, then it would be the address of that apartment.
