A 7-day eSIM with 1 GB/day cost around 400 RUB (roughly $4–5). Enough for calling taxis and light use — you can often stay on hotel Wi-Fi and barely notice the limit.

Roaming on a home SIM can work for short trips — some Russian carriers offer bonus data packages abroad. Not ideal for heavy use, but fine if you mostly rely on hotel Wi-Fi.
