TL;DR
It’s not easy to buy Vietnamese dong in Russia: one specific option mentioned is Bank Primorye in Moscow, but the exchange rate is reportedly poor. In practice, travelers should factor in conversion losses, and note that some cash terminals in Russia accept only newer banknotes.

The latest advice is that exchanging money into dong in Moscow may feel slightly cheaper than elsewhere, but any small benefit is often offset by extra conversion fees.

If you plan to deposit cash into your account in Russia before the trip, older banknotes may be rejected by cash terminals — they often accept only newer notes. This matters if you’re preparing travel funds that way.
