1 hour clears the 60-minute international minimum connection time at Sheremetyevo, but you should still head directly to your gate. Terminals C, D, E, and F are connected by covered indoor walkways and moving sidewalks, allowing many transfers without leaving the airside zone, though passport control applies whenever crossing between international and domestic flows. Terminal B, opened in 2018, is a separate complex reached via a dedicated inter-terminal train (roughly 5-8 minutes each way) plus walking and waiting time, and passengers connecting to or from B should expect a full security re-screening on arrival at the new terminal.
