Currency milage

[esoteric-lee.livejournal.com]

Can anyone please tell me or link me to reliable information concerning how far 1000 USD will go for a 3-4 week stay in Moscow and a few days in St Petersburg?

I will have accommodation covered aside from the few nights I spend out of Moscow. I do not plan on spending money on commodities necessarily when I can spend it on travel and sightseeing.

Also, can anyone recommend a community on Russia where questions such as the one I have posed are more suited than in a community primarily on language issues? :-P

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide. :))))
