It is expensive everywhere. But it tests so GOOD……
Actually, some places by Kaspi sea (south of Russia), you can get a kilo for about $ 500, but it is illegal.

    Red caviar = roe of salmon. Black caviar = roe of sturgeon.

    !! The harvest and sale of black caviar have been banned in
    Russia since August 1, 2007. The ban extends for 10 years, but scientific research and the artificial breeding of black caviar fish are exempted.

    The cheapest red caviar, I bought a year ago in the far east. The city Birobidzhane.
    300 rub ($ 12) per kilo.

    well, I tasted 3 kinds of real black caviar. Not really exciting! food like food, besides it's not for veggies. What about prices – it's a real mess. In Russia prices depend mainly of seller's dreams. Really, think what kind of system money is if somebody pays $ 10, somebody pays $ 1000 and somebody pays nothing for the same thing?

    Its always expensive, where ever you get: Russia or something else.

    I don't think their is a difference in cost between black and red. Red is more common is Russian dishes. Its also smaller than black caviar.
