When we travelled to Russia, we made the mistake of bringing travellers checks and that was a very difficult thing to cash them.

Another thing to consider- do not bring back many roubles unless you are planning to return fairly soon. They can be very difficult to exchange outside of Russia. Even Amex [in London] would not take them.

Amelia,
Through my travel experience, I have to say - travel check's were never benefit me, but credit cards and ATM cards, were my best helpers. Only one place in SPb where you will be able to exchange Amex traveler check: on Nevsky prospect (Amex Office).

Robert, great notation, I hope with recent changes on ruble policy in Russia, situation will change, but who knows.
Few more additional information, for many of you, it may look strange:
When you pay for some item in Russian store with credit card, you may get cash transaction instead of standard purchase, so please be advised. I know few countries, penalize for cash transactions, credit card holders, with additional charges and separate higher APR.
If you booking your hotel direct, I highly recommend to get fax copy of reservation confirmation with hotel rate for duration of your stay (this applies not only for Russia), and make reservation with Amex.
If you will have, hotel confirmation on official paper with hotel letterhead, Amex, will be always on your side.
You get, what you pay for, unfortunately Russian tourist market, is not really competitive, I would recommend to get hotel online, instead of going for recommendation of your friends, this way, you will be able to compare prices and select quality place base on your desired rate.

One more thing: if bringing cash, try to only choose crisp new bills... I had a lot of trouble with some of my "older" dollar bills, ones that perhaps had a little bit of writing on them, or even too many crinkles. They wouldn't accept them at the currency exchange places. Russia is such a strange country...
