We went from Germany to Mongolia this past summer on 30 Euro a day on average, but that was wild camping most nights (and only wild camping in Mongolia outside of UB) and eating at cafes rather than resturants once we hit the Ukraine. Before the Ukraine we mostly self catered. Russia was 25 Euro per day per person (with insurance factored in) and Mongolia was 12.50 (including our time in UB which was the most expensive time we had there). That also included new tires in Russia.
What we did not factor in was pre departure costs like Visas, which for me as a Canadian wanting a multiple entry business visa was 500 Euro for Russia. Ouch. :-( But the German paid 250. And if you want a single entry it is cheaper again. We also couch surfed in Russian cities, and I do not think we did a single museum. We were on BMW F 650s.
