I have been to Russia several times. Know one believes me as to how they drive. Almost got run over by a Mercedes when walking through a park once. It was speeding through the park over grass/side walks and such to get around traffic. There is no right of way for pedestrians. If you are in the street, you will be run over. As simple as that. If you pull out in front of a car, and it has plenty of time to stop. They will not stop. Their way of thinking is that they would be giving into the the other driver. Almost as if it's not manly to stop, so they just run straight into you. And the drunks ! ! ! ! Oh my GOD?

Don't they have police or traffic laws?
Yes, but not enough cops to go around. And if you are stopped by a m*****a/cop, a few ruble pay off will get you off the hook! Russia is really nothing more than a mafia state. Until they address the alcoholic situation, and the corruption/payoffs, nothing will change.
