iPhone 5 will cost 36 thousand rubles

The official cost of the fifth iPhone on the Russian market will be from 36 thousand rubles. Twice as much as in the American market. 

As a source familiar with Apple’s plans told RIA Novosti, the price of the fifth iPhone in Russia will be at least 36 thousand rubles. This figure is equivalent to last year’s cost of the iPhone 4S. “In the case of the iPhone 5, no price policy changes are expected,” a source told RIA Novosti.

Thus, the iPhone 5, which costs $649 in the USA without being tied to an operator, will cost almost 2 times more expensive in Russia — $ 1200. 

Recall that RIA Novosti was the first to report the start of sales of the device in Russia on December 14 (also from a source familiar with the plans of the Kupertinovites), which means that the cost of the device may be the amount they named.
