I know that to visit Russia it requires an invitation and a Visa.
But I am only changing planes in Moscow. I started to assume that no paperwork would be required, but I could use some information from someone who knows.
I will be flying into DME, I will have about 2 hours between flights (flying in on Siberian Airlines, flying out on United). I do not have to change airports.
Are there any Visa requirements just to change planes in Moscow?
Will be beter if you ask it on embassy:

Thank you, that is information that I do need.
I was told that if I am not going to be in Russia over 24 hours and if I am not leaving the airport, that I do not need a visa. It is a shame to be in Moscow and I will not have time to see anything but the airport.
Since you are not leaving an airport, you don't need a visa.
