Currency exchange offices in Moscow
Do they usually perceive a commission ? /how do I ask them that ?/ If so, does anybody know how much ? And could somebody please tell me some places where I'd get a good exchange rate ? ^.^'

Thank you !

P.S. : I've heard that nowadays it's more convenient to have dollars if you go to Russia /rather than EUROs/ : true or false ?

Answer

Usually they dont take a comission, but to be proved on it dont hesitate asking. In Russian it sounds:
- Вы берете комиссию? (Viy biriote komisyu?)
