As for cost, some things certainly aren't cheap there, but we knew that going in.

It's not just the weather - it's the incredible outfits Russian women wear in the summer.
There are some ancient towns to see around Moscow. The problem is sort of a general one for Russia - islands surrounded by shart. I would hit all the museums around the Kremlin; the Kremlin itself is great too. The most interesting things in both St. P and Moscow are the art collections (Tretyakovka has incredible Russian collection, and Hermitage, of course, the international greats).
There was a really cool restaurant in Moscow called Zamok Mefisto - it's underground and done up as a crypt - the food was very good. I have no clue if it exists anymore. If your wife is open-minded, visit Night Flight.
