RUS.
3 months is the maximum they will put on a TIP at the border.
I have a feeling they now issue TIPs for 3 months even if ones Visa has a shorter remaining validity although that was not the case before the Customs Union.
However, provided ones personal Permit/Visa* allows, the TIP can be extended from the 3 months to 12 months at any Customs office (as opposed to a Border point).
*remembering the 90/180 day restriction
Inconsistently, a 3 month TIP can be at odds by a few days with the 90/180 day restriction on most Visas issued for longer - but that's just "Russia!".
