Question on Declaring Items Arriving Moscow

Will be arriving in Moscow in a few days and have a few questions on items to declare (getting conflicting information on the internet).

(1) I have prescription pain medication (percocet) due to back surgery. Have seen information that says some narcotics need to be declared or may be illegal in Russia.

(2) Have a decent DSLR camera I will be taking with me. Some websites say you need to declare this to avoid hassles when leaving with Russian officials thinking you may have purchased the camera in Russia. Other websites say you do not need to declare a camera if it is not in the original packaging (i.e., personal camera that has already been used).

Anyone have experience with either of these situations and can offer advice on how to proceed.
