We're flying SU in business class. We arrive SVO2 and have a 6 hour connection with a departure from SVO1. Will we be able to use the SVO2 lounge? I'm a Skyteam Elite Plus but my wife and kids are not.

As a SkyTeam Elite Plus, you should be able to gain access to the lounge at SVO-1, however, you are only allowed 1 guest. Don't forget to get your invitation card(s) at the check-in.
BTW, keep in mind that the Minimum Connecting Time between SVO-2 & SVO-1 is approx. 3 hours, as the terminals are located almost 10 kms from each other. SU does have a complimentary transfer service if you are connecting between 2 SU flights: http://www.Aeroflot.ru/eng/info.asp?ob_no=764

Having said that, the check-in for a domestic flight won't be open until 2 hours before departure. SVO-1 is a real zoo, and there is nothing to do there...

KVS is right. It is an absolute zoo and the only thing to do is survive and advance (kinda like the playoffs!).
