The shock developments on Wall Street this week spurred a sell-off in Russian shares, which sank to three-year lows on Tuesday.
Following a plunge of 6%, the dollar-denominated RTS index suspended trading on Wednesday until further notice.
There are reports that the rouble-denominated MICEX has also halted trades.
