"How do I cope when I land at the airport in Russia?"
When you arrive in St.Petersburg you can be met by Annushka at the airport and taken to your accommodation by taxi.
The trip normally takes 1 hour. In case you would like to take a taxi at the airport by yourself,
it will cost you $50 one way as there is a monopoly on prices among local taxi drivers

You will feel more secure and save some of your money in case Annushka will meet you at the airport
and accompany you to the place of your staying.
