Is there such a thing in Russia? One would think so but I cannot find any information on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

No. For any short-term visa, you will still need the tourist, personal invitation, business or working visa. I had to use them when I had a fiancee and later a wife who was a Russian citizen. Unless you want to apply for residency..

Amendment. As in other thread. You may get a visa as a spouse, but I think it's a long-term thing, i.e. as in residency. For ordinary visits, it's business, tourist or private invitation. I know, as that's all I was offered by the authorities when visiting Russian as a fiance and later a husband.

Okay. Thanks for the info!

If you obtain residency, does this give you the right to work?

Kilij,

Yes.
