Accomodation prices varies without any logic.
Sometimes you find a very nice place ina very nice district of a town for 10$/night and two days later a "adams family" type of hotel in a forgotten town will ask you 20$. So i think its best to make a budget for 20$/night and wish for the best.
Food is cheap. You can dine yourself for 5$ a day.
Have a nice trip.

hi
exactly there s no logic
i slept on the road (restaurants, locals, gastinitse for truckers) through russia from estonia to mongolia then kazakhstan, never for more than 2- usd, but local style no hot shower, mostly on the floor or a bad bed or sofa.
anyway, after vodka (almost every night), you sleep well.
hotels can be bloody expensive in big cities, i remember a 50 usd night in irkutsk and i finally slept outside big cities, 20 usd for a dorm in st pet and moscow
i was there twice in spring summer 2002
happy trails
