Militant Islamist group Islamic State claimed responsibility for Friday's rampage.
Moscow regional governor Andrei Vorobyov said 133 bodies had been recovered from the rubble in 24 hours, and doctors were "fighting for the lives of 107 people."
In a televised address, Putin said 11 people had been detained, including the four gunmen.
"All the perpetrators, organisers and those who ordered this crime will be justly and inevitably punished. Whoever they are, whoever is guiding them," Putin said.
Russia tightened security at airports, transport hubs and across the capital, and big public events were cancelled across the country.
