The Megafon "Lite" plans that have attractive calling rates back to the U.S. have much higher rates when roaming within Russia. Currently the rate back to the U.S. is $3.00 / minute when you get out of Moscow. I'm not sure the extent of this, in particular where Obninsk falls. St. Petersburg is definitely a high priced roaming area as recently discovered by Bugs.
See the following Megafon Moscow web page for details:
Roaming Services for Lite Customers
BTW, The plan with attractive value is the "Ediny" plan. The SIM card costs around 100R and the rate to call locally or to the U.S. is 3R / minute (about 11 cents). For more information about this tariff plan go to the Ediny Tariff page.
Limited English language information is available on the Megafon Moscow website.
Happy calling!
