I have flown in former Soviet Republics and so far have not used the local "Brew" , I have used on more than one occasion the hot water truck and liberal amounts of "Kill Frost", applied with long handle brushes to get that clean airframe look.
From information I got from our engineer, formally aeroflot... the stuff is very good at getting rid of most things that adhere to wings including the paint, but it is apparently very effective. one aircraft that arrived in europe was rumoured to still have a good coating on landing..... Moscow's airports as far as I know do stock western flavours of anti and de ice fluids,
