Everyone I know/knew in Russia bought a phone AFTER they got there to avoid even having to worry about it. Customs is a little picky, so they might give you trouble with it. My best advice would be to check with your country of origin's State Department/Foreign Ministry (I don't know if you're from the US or elsewhere). They tend to know those little details and what you need to do to make sure you don't run afoul of customs officers.
Yes, Aeroflot is cheap. Yes, it's also a deathwish. Ok, maybe deathwish is a little strong, but it won't be a pleasant experience. I'd definitely recommend that you fly something a bit more...western...instead.
