DL: LAX-MOW $652 AI, under 4.5 cpm depending on routing. Other Skyteam members at slightly higher. On DL, only flight to MOW is JFK-SVO, though some interesting domestic routings are available from LAX to JFK to get some extra miles. Dates in January at least, maybe other dates available. Don't forget to include a potential visa cost if you will need it.

Lufthansa/LH has matched, but on a K fare that earns nothing credited to UA or US.
