Why are Russians denied tourist visa?

My wife's best friend, who is like a sister to her, wants to visit with her two young sons for two weeks but the MOI constantly rejects the application. Anybody got any idea why this is? Qatar is supposed to be trying to promote tourism but the MOI simply rejects these applications without giving any reason. Extremely frustrating, disappointing and upsetting for all concerned. This is the third time this has happened and I really need to know why.
