IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Pursuant to the directive from the Russian Foreign Ministry, effective June 15, 2012, the Russian Embassy in Australia and the Russian Consulate General in Sydney will require that all applications for Russian visas submitted in Australia be prepared using the Electronic Visa Application Form which is a web-based application, available online at visa.kdmid.ru
Russian visa applications prepared using the old format or in a different manner will not be accepted after June 15, 2012. After filling the Electronic Visa Application form online, applicants will have to print a copy of their application form, sign and date it, glue the required size photo to it and submit this printed original form, along with other necessary documentation, to the Russian Embassy in Australia or to the Russian Consulate General in Sydney personally or through their representative or a visa agency.
The Electronic Visa Application Form will provide greater accuracy and security in processing visa applications. It should be filled out in its full entirety. Incomplete forms may significantly delay visa processing time.
Based on reciprocal approach Australian applicants travelling to Russia with business, commercial and government purposes must provide a short biography (full name; date and place of birth, education and qualifications, history of employment) in Russian language.

Во второй раз нам все-таки удалось дозвониться до консульства и выяснить причину возвращения документов.
Имейте в виду, что консульство не обязано и не будет вас лично уведомлять в письменном виде об изменении правил, а просто вернет вам документы и все.
