The Tupolev Tu-204 has a two person flight deck.
The Antonov An-148 and An-158 which are technically Ukranian designs but whose production factory is in Russia, also have two person flight decks.

I suspect the IL-96 stuck with its multi crew flight decks because of the way the earlier models were certified, themselves an evolution and upgrade of the even older Il-86, which were certified with multi-crew.

A bit the same reason why current production B-737NG have no EICAS or ECAM....
Boeing 747-300 with F/Es were being delivered at the same time as early B-767s that had two man crews. The first two man crew 747-400 was delivered 6 years after the introduction of the two man crew 767.....
