Russia
Assuming you can get a flight, there is still some cheap accommodation in Moscow.
The Voschod Hotel say they have doubles available for 2,400 rubles per night (about £25 each). Be prepared for a very basic facility though. The Hotel Sovietsky (a deliciously kitsch venue just north of the Garden Ring) have rooms for 7,200 rubles - £156. The Warsaw Hotel has singles for 4,300 rubles (about £94) and doubles for 6,250 (about £135 or £68 each). Like Home Apartments have flats available before and after the match.
And if you need a visa try Real Russia: they’re among the cheapest, and you’ll be able to track progress of your application online.

I'd like to recommend GetRussian.com. I have travelled to Russia a number of times and always found getting hold of the visa was the most difficult part of it.
I used GetRussian on my last trip. The site explained everything I needed to know about getting a visa without problems. It also has a good online ordering system.
A very useful site to use if you're thinking of making the trip to Russia!
Popular information resource, featuring a very detailed guide to the Russian visa and destination guides.
