In case you don’t have, at airport, there are several exchange booths provided and different ATM providers. If you’re in the city, you can also exchange it at the banks or exchange booths with better rates. They mainly accept standard currencies like dollar and Euro in general. (1 USD = 31.1670 RUB / 1 EUR = 40.0508 RUB approximately). Don’t forget to present your passport to the officer.
