About Ryanair and Russia - I highly doubt. Aeroflot has a very strong impact on everything airline there. Local low-costers can operate only within Russia, they're heavily pressed and pushed by all possible means, including airport authorities.

In Russian news I often see government, including the president, talking about the airfares, about Aeroflot being a legal monopoly, etc. The truth is that everyone knows, that should they liberalize the market, everyone would beat Aeroflot with lower prices.

It's just that 199 Eur price for Moscow - Europe flights is considered a bargain there, let alone that this is a before tax fare!
