It does not matter will you return or not, moreover buying tickets in one city to the train from another one is a bit more expensive. Tickets to Moscow-St.Peterburg trains (650km), depending on a train speed/class, are from $25 (8 hours) to $100 (5 hours). But there are cheaper suburb-trains (they are near-distance, but you can take the next one, going farther, then the next, etc..), where you can escape buying a ticket and give about $2 to the controller (if you are unlucky enough to meet one). I haven't traveled with such a method for a long time, but most of people here use it for going from Moscow to the nearest cities (in ~250km radius). Hmmm, having written all that I see it is not that simpler here... It is trickier, if you are cheap :) Dmitry.
