Cost of Living

Prices have been given in Roubles where Roubles are the only currency accepted (for example, on public transport, tourist attractions etc). However, many organisations accept – indeed welcome – US Dollars and prices are usually quoted in both currencies. US Dollars are usually the better guide for prices anyway.
