Changing to Rubles... was probably the biggest worry I had prior to arrival...
The West’s sanctions on Russia and the russophobia make you believe it is almost an impossible task to change Euros or Dollars to Rubles... and the Western credit cards can’t be used in Russia ... what do you do .... Its made to look impossible ... Well one youtube blogger actually said she opened and account with Scherbank and got a Mir Card.. WOW ... but I need Rubels to pay my hotel on arrival... I went on the net.. and found plenty of banks change Euros to Rubles Hm... Asked a friend if I could change in the airport on arrival... sure he said... checked on the net .. and they confirmed it...
How it all went... watch the video ))))
