Old habits die hard. They LOVE official looking stamps in Russia. It must be approved by the Commissar! It was patently noticable how much stuff they stamp in this place. And I didn't even get a pic at the airport in Rostov when we arrived and our customs declaration form was stamped 6 TIMES - 3 on the front side and 3 on the back side! It was comical. These people are gonna get carpal tunnel syndrome from stamping so much. I haven't seen this many stamps since a Christmas Seals fundraiser.
