Yes, quite doable if your first flight is not late (assuming both flights are on the same PNR). DME is hardly a major international hub - very few people transiting international to international, so no long lines at international transit security. Make sure you get your BPs at URC though. S7 doesn't staff their transit desks well, so you may well spend those 55 minutes waiting for someone to show up.
