Russia to Mongolia
Russian side straightforward and easy but, if you have a lot of people before you, it can be time consuming. First car check and then passport control. Nothing to pay. Just wait in your car and follow the others when they move. For us it took 1 hours (mid-day time).
Mongolian side is not so clear. First you have to stop at a container where they register your car and give you a slip of paper. Then you go to pay the "disinfection" fee (there's no disinfection at all but also locals pay it) 2000 MNT cash or rubles. If you skip this you don't have a stamp required later. Then you drive to customs check (vehicle inspection and some little paperwork) and passport control (data in the system and stamp). Nothing to pay here either (Italian passport, 30 day visa free entry).
After that you will be stopped to buy insurance. We negotiated a bit and ended up paying around 18 USD for 30 days (2000 cc engine but he wrote 1000). You can also change money here or buy sim card but we didn't. And that's all, nobody asked for a road tax or similar. It took about 1 hour here too, so total crossing time 2 HS.

Exit Mongolia: Easy, took 20 minutes
Enter Russia: Took 4.5 hours, most of that time was waiting. We did get interviewed by the border guard but nothing scary. The customs lady helped us fill out the forms. All very professional. The check of our car was not too thorough. We opens most of the boxes and they just took a look.

Entering Russia: took us 4.5h. Very detailed check of every single car on the Russian side. Some cars had to present every single piece of item. Having some food/drinks and credit on the Mongolian sim-card helps:-)
