There may be people buying iPhones for rubles, selling them online for other currencies, and then exchange it back to rubles for a profit. If that is indeed happening, I imagine apple would want to stop it before other markets are affected by side imports.

Yes, but there's a simpler explanation as well: they would probably rather not be paid in Rubles for concern that the Rubles will be worth significantly less by the time Apple is able to exchange them for USD (or whatever other currency) than the Rubles were when the price was set.
