Turkish Cyprus (north) stamp in Russian visa application
I am applying to the Russia Embassy in the United Kingdom for a tourism visa. I went through Northern (Turkish) Cyprus twice in March 2016. The first was to visit the coach company who took me to Nicosia airport to leave the next week. Upon leaving, the airport staff stamped my passport with the Turkish (Northern) Cyprus stamp. I then flew to mainland Turkey for a connecting flight.
In the Russian application, what should be used as a country visited in the last 10 years for that: Cyprus, Turkey, another place, or nothing?
I have also transited through Turkey, Poland and Austria, all on separate occasions to the others. I had land bus, and train connections in Austria and Poland, from which I went by train in to Czechoslovakia. I exited Turkey and Austria upon getting to their airports.
Should these be mentioned, as all are within the last 10 years?

Turkey is the only country to recognise Kuzey K?br?s Türk Cumhuriyeti. To Russsia and others officially the entire island is Cyprus, so put Cyprus. Russia won't care that you have visited - it is well aware that thousands/millions of people have - (I recommend the place). Don't try and hide your visit and there is no need to fabricate "another place". Yes, mention where else you have been. It is a very bad idea to lie (even by omission) on a visa application.

It is your choice. One of the reasons for the visa slips is that if you travel regularly across the border (some people go every week to shop for instance) you would very quickly use up all the pages in your passport with visa stamps.
