lay over of 1H in Moscow-is it enough for luggage ?

hello every one,
I am flying from TLV to PVG and my lay over tine in Moscow (Sheremetyevo Airport) is 1 hour. is it enough for the luggage to go through ?
its my first flight with Aeroflot and I also noticed they allow only 1 hand luggage even if you fly in Business. most airlines allows to take 2 bags if you fly business
thank you !

You can frequently get through with 2 pieces of hand luggage, especially if they're small.
1 hour is probably enough, but you can't be 100% sure

Man, that's a RUSSIAN airline. The meaning of 'rules', 'regulations', etc. is quite different here, especially for a person of importance (you fly business class, after all).

I flew the 'Flot earlier this year in J with a rollaboard and a laptop bag. Nobody gave me any hassle whatsoever, either boarding at JFK, or when I transferred in SVO.

Have your BP for PVG issued in TLV so you don't have to fool around with the Transfer Desk. It can get messy.

I think it's enough (as long as it's in one ticket and same terminal (they have two IIRC)). I've made it in much narrow timing, but there were no delays and it was for CIS country.
When you'll be boarding for PVG, show the luggage barcode and ask them to check if it's in the plane already, thus yo'll know for sure in advance for potential delays.
Also in TLV make sure that you'll be receiving your luggage in PVG not SVO
