Kiev-Vladivostok carriage runs every second day on even dates of the month, when the two uneven dates follow at the end/start of the month, then it runs on 28,30,1,3,8.
The fare is 6160 UAH (app. 560 EUR) for "kupe" (no platskartnyi on this route), but we would strongly advice you to take a look at other options, because, first of all, since it is interstate connection the fare is extremely high and, secondly, carriage passes territory of Kazakhstan (depending on you citizenship you might need additional visa).
On the contrary, cheapest ticket for "kupe" of "Rossiya" train #1 Moscow-Vladivostok starts from 8000 RUB only (app. 190 EUR)

8070 RUB is the fare for domestic ticket and reservation (they both printed on one ticket sheet).The fare is like this because RZD just restarted their promo - upper berth in "kupe" for any domestic journey are sold with 50% discount, so instead of full 16000+ fare you pay only half, promo is valid for travels since October 15.
The only minuses of this option - travel on upper berth all the way and need to purchase ticket directly from RZD (ticket counter or if you are lucky and your bank card is accepted on RZD website - online)

Do you know until when this upper berth discount will be valid?

If you don't succed with RŽD website you can try with this one:
http://ticket.poezda.net/

I heared it's better in terms of accepting cards, but they charge a 6 EUR commission.

Last time RZD offered similar promo from January till March (= off-peak season). This time they don't really state the ending date (http://pass.rzd.ru/isvp/public/pass?STRUCTURE_ID=5167), but, as far as we can guess, probably they will abolish it for the winter holidays (New Year and Orthodox Christmas). After that... you never know, maybe RZD will leave it at least till May-Summer.
I heared it's better in terms of accepting cards, but they charge a 6 EUR commission.
Actually it is not the only website, there are multiple website (=agencies) that sell tickets with 200-300 RUB commission.

p.s. judging from luticus ip and need for multiple tickets, it might make sense just to do a short trip till nearest RZD counter (which is only around 500km away)

But there is a good trick to save some money. Main secret is in the use of foreign/international train tickets for domestic Russian routes. Best offers here from Slovakia, Serbia and Bulgaria. All this countries sell CityStar tickets to Russia. Here some numbers for the most popular Slovakia-Russia CityStar (via Ukraine): CityStar itself costs 134.4 euro (2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th person of a group travelling together pays additionally only 67,2 EUR or half out of basic price). So return ticket any station in Slovakia-Vladivostok- any station in Slovakia for two people costs only 201.6 euro. But you still need to buy sleeping car reservations (specific place in specific train).
*****************
tHIS INFO is from Russia section of this site.
Question 1is - 2 peoples travel together Slovakia-Kiev -Moscow-Vladivostok // and Vladivostok-Moscow-Kiev-Slovakia is ONLY 201,6 Euro/per person /only tiket ???????

Yes, CityStar return ticket Slovakia-UZ-RZD>1500km cost 134 euro, second passenger pays 50%. But additionally you would need sleeper reservations (compulsory for UZ and RZD). For example, Bratislava-Kiev sleeper cost 24 euro, Kiev-Moscow from 18 euro in UZ carriages to 58 in RZD carriages, Moscow-Vladivostok - 230 euro etc. As you can see, ticket part itself cost less than sleeper.
As result, trip Bratislava-Kiev-Moscow-Vladivostok return for 2 passengers will cost 200 (ticket) + 24*4 (Bratislava-Kiev sleepers) + 18*4 (Kiev-Moscow sleepers)+ 230*4 (Moscow-Vladivostok sleepers)

Yes, like a month ago RZD substituted Moscow-Zilina route with Moscow-Bratislava via Zilina*, so now there is direct carriage from Moscow to Bratislava via Chop. We just kept forgetting to update our "Russia" page.

*on the contrary RZD 'killed' Moscow-Budapest carriage via Brest-Bohumin-Bratislava
