Hi,
I think the answer is almost certainly yes.

I think by the time you ad up:
(1) the visa invitation fee
(2) the consulate fee for issuing the visa
(3) an express fee (assuming you don't want to wait months for the visa)
(4) an agency fee (to go to the consulate for you, assuming you don't want to spend hours queuing at the consulate)
You will be closer to £200.
Oh, and if you are looking for the Russian tourist board, I think you'll find there isn't one.

I always fancied going to Russia but as a tourist I resent being ripped off, given the cost of hotel rooms as well as visas I shall give Russia a wide berth for the forseeable future.

Theres a lot of interesting history surfacing about it at the moment now that the "new" Intourist is being floated on the London Stock Exchange. There was quite a bit of coverage in the papers and some of the journals at the start of the year when it was first announced I think.
