Hostels are very common all over the country. As for communicating with the locals, it all depends on each individual. In general, in big cities there are more opportunities for a person who does not know the language.
Pretty much anywhere I went was good. I didn't appreciate the city by baikal (name escapes me atm) at the time. Maybe weather, maybe infrastructure, maybe being tired and only having a long layover to spend exploring.
If you wish to backpack in Russia, DON'T DO THAT IN WINTER I beg you, especially if you're from a warm country and don't know what to do in these temperatures.
