Ministry for Information Technologies and Communications announcement (11 August 2005, via ITU)
Generally, area codes beginning with '0' such as Moscow +7 095 are changed. In all cases except Kaliningrad, the digit '4' replaces leading area code digit '0'.
There is permissive dialling of old and new area codes until 31 January 2006.

That is, +7 812 1xxxxxx was changed to +7 812 7xxxxxx, with last 6 digits unchanged.
Except for +7 812 177xxxx numbers which became +7 812 771xxxx with last 4 digits unchanged.
Permissive dialling of both old and new formats continued through 17 June 2005. Recorded message was to be applied for 30 days (unclear if the recorded message period was relative to the permissive or mandatory date).

Codes of 25 other cities having the form +7 0xx will also be changed to +7 4xx format in 2005.
for fixed/wireline service Leading digit '0' in the area code is conflicted with future plans of using 0 and 00 for the trunk and international prefixes (replacing the 8 and 810 prefixes).

This affects local calling within Rostov-on-Don. This has no effect on calls from outside Russia, as the digit sequence remains the same. For long distance within Russia, the digit sequence would be unchanged, but callers should avoid confusing the old and new formats for area codes and numbers.
Rostov-on-Don thus became the fifth Russian city with 7-digit subscriber numbers besides Ekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Moscow and St Petersburg.

Ekaterinburg's +7 3432 xxxxxx became +7 343 2xxxxxx and +7 343 3xxxxxx (according to special table of first 2 digits).
Krasnodar's +7 8612 xxxxxx became +7 861 2xxxxxx and +7 861 9xxxxxx (again, according to special conversion table).
See conversion table in http://www.kuban.ru/forum_new/forum19/modpage/seven.htm.
+7 498 was also introduced December 2003 by Central Telegraph for the Moscow region (outside of Moscow metropolitan area).
+7 501 is a wireless-based area code in the Moscow region. One carrier, Mastertel, provides fixed/wireline services on this area code.

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, nearly all of the former USSR territories outside Russia have been assigned new country codes. Only Kazakhstan has not had a new country code assignment announced and continues to share in the country code 7 numbering plan with Russia.
There is a document on Russian numbering plan, dated 19 February 1999, as hosted on ITU website. This does not contain much detail on the numbering plan, but does outlines the expected near-term future of the numbering and dialling plans, including the introduction of:
