There is no such thing as a transit visa if you do not hold a confirmed tkt to another destination other than your point of origin. So in other words you can not have a transit visa if for example say you start in the US and go to RUS and come back to US. This is 1000% confirmed.

"1000% confirmed" by WHOM please? I like to see a written source for such blanket statements of 'FACT'.

You are new to FT and here we like to see a written comment from some official source - one way or the other.

I believe less than 24 hours in Russia is fine if you do not leave the transit area, if you do not have checked baggage, and if you have a valid onward ticket to somewhere you clearly are permitted to enter - whether that is the USA or anywhere else.
