What kind of lock? Phone lock, setup lock, SIM lock, AppleID lock? What company in U.S. Released phone? Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint? If it was a phone reported as list or stolen, there may not be much you can do.

OK. 'SIM is not valid' - says iPhone. And Verizon, yes

Verizon iPhones are sold unlocked. Did you try Settings/General/Reset Network Settings or Erase all Content and settings?

Also install iTunes on a computer and connect the phone to the computer until it is detected by itunes. Try twice if not working.

If you're still not able to access the phone, try recovery mode to erase all the information on the iPhone, just in case this was not done by previous owner http://apple.co/1FZIsKy. In addition, make sure the phone was not reported as lost or stolen because this will prevent the device from activating. You would have to use resources available to you in Russia.
