The only legal currency in Russia is the rouble. But saying that you can use dollars or euros, however watch the rate of exchange. Credit cards are fine in the larger cities. I find the easiest thing to do is to get roubles from ATMs.

I think it depends on what you are buying. We found guides and travel agents wanted dollars. We even got USD from the ATM to pay some of our expenses. I'd bring extra USD you; can always bring it home if you don't need it.
