Hi, it is about $4-5, I believe. In Moscow it would cost 200 rbl which
make $7. St. Petersburg might be a little cheaper.

Make sure you agree a price before you even get in the car. Honest Russian
taxi drivers are the exception, rather than the rule in my experience.

You could leave out "Russian", judging from the results of recent controls by
the police.

There is a lot of stories about mafia at russian taxi.
I don`t know real price but by TV was prices up to 40$ from Moscow airports.
Then you go far away from airport tneh the price is cheaper.
