The price and quality varies a whole lot. You can get them very inexpensively (equivalent of a few dollars) or get better quality ones for a lot.. there’s really no one set price

in Arbat street everything is expensive, same as at the Red Square, Price for a doll start from 250 rubles. but you can also find expensive one for 2000-3000 rubles, depends the quality.
actually in these cities in every touristic place you'll find lots of this kind of souvenirs

I think the best place to buy the Russian souvenirs is the Izmailovsky Souvenir Market.
My husband and I bought many wonderful things for our friends at that market and we had a good deal with sellers.

Monsieur Gulyaev says
Best market in Saint Petersburg – Gostinniy dvor, an old department store at the main street callin Nevskiy prospect. In Moscow, i think, it is shops on Arbat street, it`s one of the most popular places in tourist Moscow. About price – I don`t know, but, I think, not more then 1000 rubles, it`s $ 40
