How to exchange the money in Russia?
The one and the only answer is to go to the bank or to the currency exchange office. Never change money with a strangers: you will lost 'em.
There are a lot off exchange offices and banks all over the city center. You can recognize 'em by the lable: "Обмен валюты" (currency exchange).

Using ATM in Russia There is an ATM at the right side of the Arrival hall ground floor. You can withdraw Rubles, US Dollars or Euro in it. (But honestly saying most of the time you can get only Rubles). If you are the happy holder of the Visa/MC Debit Check card, the ATM is the most profitable way to exchange your money to Rubles : You will get the best rate and will not pay the comissions (unless your bank will charge it).The amount you can withdraw is usually limited by ATM from $100 to $400 a time.

But if you are smart enough, you can repeate the procudure, or go to the live teller and withdraw money within your account limit.
If you are living on credit you can withdraw cash too, but the best way to change money for you is to go with cash to the exchange office.
You can exchage money at the exchange office in the Depature hall, but ususally they have not so profitable rates, as you can get in a City. Here we put the logos of the most trustable City banks exchanges offices (a trustability does not guarantee the best exchange rate):
