UA: DME-ORD $559 USD and 11729PQM (4.8 cents per mile)
Hi guys, so I was playing around with Google flights and I found a good fare with United and Star Alliance from Moscow to Chicago.
The flights earn 11729 miles at a cost of USD551 or RUB37764
For a accrual rate of approximately 4 cents per mile.

The other direction works for many US cities. I only checked BWI-DME on ST and A* airlines. I think that the fare responds to WOW airlines, as far as BWI is concerned.
Do not forget that it is pain to get a Russia visa (a minimum of $180+ and driving to Russian consulate/embassy). The online application will take, at least, two hours, after you get an visa invite. They ask you for the travel history over the last ten years, as well as your previous boss' info.
