It was seriously scary in Kiev (same situation as Moscow, I guess) that most crossings did not have a green man. This clip shows that Russia needs more pedestrian crossings, and Ukraine too!
My experience in the big cities over there is that the cars aren't going to stop for you whether there's a crosswalk or not, and it doesn't really make a difference whether there's a green man. If you want the cars to stop you have to step out in front of them and force them to stop (or hit you). If you try to stand there at the curb and wait for them to yield to you, you'll be waiting for a very long time.
