You can do a google/web search on the best rates for 10-10 or 10-15 plans.  You can do the same for calling cards and compare.
I use 10-15-335 but they have several plans under that general number.
The one I use has $0.10 per minute to Russia (not just Moscow) with a 10 minute minimum.  There is also an 11% tax on top of that.  No other monthly or connection charges.
The 10 cent rate may have changed for new subscribers -- they honor the rate you signed up under.
This service has good clean connections and no hangups.  In the beginning, I had poor connections and about one hangup per 30 minute call so they have improved the service.

Be careful with the 10-10's.  Some of them have some hidden charges that really nail you.  Personally I prefer the prepaid cards (http://pointme.to/expresspin is the one I use).  The new Voicer Over IP companies that are sprouting up (Vonage, Net2Phone) seem to have good rates internationally.  Not sure about their quality though.

I have sometimes had trouble using Net2Phone to Kiev: sometimes the calls go through no problems, other times I couldn't get a connection.  I stuck with them because of the rates, but had a backup card from another company.  My experience is dated, but might be useful.

I used both 10-10-220 and 10-15-335 to call Simferopol, Ukraine, and found the latter substantially cheaper.
The only problem is that Ukraine phone system is old and not always reliable. 10-15-335 to call Ukraine costs 18 c/min, 10 minutes minimum. There is no hidden cost.
