Hi Matty, first of all welcome to 3T!!!

Here is my two cents on Russians, at least the brands i own.....

I own several Vostok-Europes, IMHO I think these are one of the best buys out there...The Energia is probably one of my top 10 watches in my collection of over 100 (BTW Oscar -oagasper- has one for sale here at a tremendous price)...the automatic movements are very reliable and after a month or two of break-in they run at about +/- 10 seconds per day, sometimes even better.

Also, have a few Maktimes, Moscow Classics and a few other....many of these have in-house movements that similar watches from Swiss manufactures would cost thousands more.

A great place to check out what's out there is http://www.russia2all, Craig is a great guy and they offer a 10% discount to 3T members.
