4. A 'Tourist voucher' and a 'Tourist confirmation' document stamped and signed by authorized person. They can be obtained through your hotel or an approved travel agent who deals with trips to Russia, and should be valid for the entire duration of your trip. The stamp and all details should be clearly readable.
Now they recommend not making bookings till you get the visa, so
Q what is this Tourist Voucher? how do I get this? Can I just go in to Thomas Cook travel agency (etc) and while not booking with them get this Voucher?
Thanks in advance

It's around 10 years since I went to Russia so I might be out of date and the brain cells weren't what they were but as I recall you need to book, or reserve, your accommodation(s) from the date you arrive and until the date you leave RU and that accommodation, whether it be a hotel or an apartment, will issue you with a voucher.
If in doubt, just google for an apartment in the city where you're going and use them to source information of what you need to do, this is their bread and butter.
