If it's a broadband modem - you will not be able to use it on Russian phone lines - there should be a connection of such line to the ISP. If you're going to use the dial-up then you can buy Internet-cards. something like 100 for 10 hours?.. I don't remember really... Each card provides you with the modem pull number, login and pass.

Like the wireless cards that Sprint, AT&T and others have here in the states. Wish I could help you answer that. I'm looking for the same info myself.
