Applying for a Schengen visa from Russia felt overwhelming at first. Each section has small notes explaining *why* the consulate asks, which helped me answer properly. I used the printed documents directly and didn't change a thing. Support answered a quick question about bank statement translations in minutes. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
