I was in Russia last summer and I agree that you need to get a local to buy things like train tickets as the cost is far less - esp. for things like hotels in Moscow. As a foreigner, it is one of the 2 or 3 most expensive cities in the world to visit.
Not surprisingly, most modes of transportation outside the main cities is nowhere near (in terms of quality, speed, comfort) what you'd find here in N.America or most parts of Europe. Expect to lose a lot of "comforts" while in Russia!
