Foreign-issued bank cards do not work in Russia.

You are forced to search for a place to exchange money, keep cash on hand, and avoid unplanned spending.

The answer to this problem is PayInRussia. The platform helps visitors from other countries to pay for goods and services in Russia through their smartphones. https://payinrussia.com/ You do not have to carry cash or need to go to a bank.
