Camera Charges in Russia

Can anyone tell me how much the camera charges for a still and a video are in St. Petersburg? Also, do you have to pay for these charges in rubles?

In general still cameras were $4, video cameras were $5. Some locations did not charge, some did not allow any pictures, some allowed stills but no videos, some no flash, etc. Our guide took care of the transactions in US dollars.

Red October adds $5.00 per camera to the bill if you want to take photo's. I don't recall what the price for taking video's was.
There was one place, a church, that didn't charge extra if you wanted to take photo's.

We were with Red October. The still camera averaged about $5 but the video cost from $9-14.

Is that 5$ per camera per day or per sight?

The charge was for each individual place, not for the whole day.
