Well, to me this seems to say that if the ground crew think a pilot has declined de-icing when he should not they have a safety mechanism in place to do something about it.

With pilots who say "As it was snowing really, really slightly we had a few tiny frozen droplets on our outer wings..." but they still don't want to de-ice, I'd say they are quite right right to introduce this new policy.

How does "a few tiny frozen droplets" meet a clean wing concept?!?

How does light snow fit with a decision not to anti-ice.

If that's typical of the pilots they see in Vnukovo then it sounds like their new policy is spot on!
