Yes. You can purchase dollars in exchange of Rubles.

Previous week it was aprox. 80 Rubles per U.S. Dollar.

Now due to the White House's statement that there will be sanctions against the Russia's central bank (they shouldn't able to use the reserves to keep Ruble stable) it is predicted that Ruble will collapse tomorrow.

It seems like too large a difference between banks, wouldn't this lead to arbitrage?

I believe currently only one of these banks can enable you to get your money out of Russia — thus the difference.
