How much money would it cost to travel to Russia from the United States? How much does it take to survive a day in Russia?
It depends on you – how expensive your habits are, on the period you are going to stay and on the city you are visiting. Moscow and St. Petersburg are very expensive. You may hope it will be enough to have about US $100 for a day in cash or travel checks.

A return ticket to Moscow will cost you about $500-1000 depending on air company and season. As for Russians, they receive average monthly salaries of about US $100, and still manage to survive.
