The cheapest ticket for a direct train from Beijing to UB is about 75 USD.

The cheapest ticket from UB to Irkutsk should be less than 30 USD. (#363 daily, platskartney - this is the slow train)

This is for one of the more expensive trains from Irkutsk direct to Moscow is 2105.90 rubles or about 76 USD (#9 every other day, this is a fast firmeny train but platskartney berth price). The other direct trains will be considerably slower and much older equipment. If you make stops it will probably cost you about this much to take two or three shorter trips.

Note that the prices will probably be increased in May 2005 and that there are times when the prices might be higher for travel within Russia as there are sort of holiday supplements during periods of peak travel.
