At SVO, it used to be possible for overnight transit passengers to stay in special guarded floors of an airport hotel, where they could get food by ordering room service. They would be taken to and from the airport in special vehicles without ever entering Russia. I don't know whether this system is still in operation. [BTW, the "transit hotel" wasn't cheap and there was no choice.]
