Sadly, no "real" networks use these routes, and Rostelecom is not
particularly known for having any settlement-free peering in Russia
whatsoever (in the old days, they had all Moscow "interconnects" go
through London). I know of no non-premium hosting providers in Moscow
that buy transit from Rostelecom. And no other major telecoms in
Russia seem to have any Moscow-Japan routes that don't go through NA.
Cheers,
Constantine.
