I've always had the impression that the carrier is obligated to return the person even if doing so means that they must VDB/IDB another passenger. However, in the case of Russia, they might need to be sure to pick someone for when the additional day would not mean an overstay of that person's visa.

Also, if the carrier doesn't have a flight returning the same day (which I suspect is generally not the case for Russia), would the carrier be obligated to rebook the person on some other airline?
