Do cost reductions apply when you play a card from your hand?
The rulebook says playing from hand means paying the card's cost, and the cost reductions apply to that cost.

Yes. Playing a card from hand means paying its cost, so reductions based on your tableau still apply: one ruble off for each identical card you own, and the Gold Smelter and Carpenter Workshop discounts. Only the lower-row discount is lost, because the card is not bought from the row.
