The Russian Made Easy podcast would be the place to start if you are a total beginner. It doesn't cost anything, and the guy who made it is pretty much a genius as far as language teaching goes. I found it in itunes, and I believe there is a site by the same name. The instructor in the podcast actually does make learning Russian relatively easy.
If you can't read Russian yet, use the 3 Hour Cyrillic app. Definitely cool.
Good luck!
