The cost of living in St. Petersburg is high, but it's actually come down in recent years. I moved to Russia in 2000, and at that point everything was at least five times as expensive at it was in the States. Now, it's decreased to about three times more expensive. That said, there's a few things that are reasonable in cost - bread, cigarettes and vodka (all the Russian staples). Electronics are much more expensive. Generally though, you can expect a high cost of living in St. Petersburg.
