1H30 mins is definitely too low ,
At least two hours are needed (international to domestic), without delays or weather issues

If possible , i would say you should have your final connection in another airport than SVO and if possible not in russia
the problem is that aeroflot is more or less a kind of monopoly in russia on some domestic routes , if you fly from another country and want to buy everything under the same booking (or without changing airports in moscow) and they are not ashamed of charging huge prices when you compare with flights to other international cities close to russian borders
