As someone who has travelled around Southern Africa for 6 months with two kids in tow (twice)...I would definitely take my child (at any age) to Russia. Sure, precautions are needed - but what a great experience for them and for you.
As far as the weather being cold - I happen to live in the 2nd coldest capital city in the world (Ottawa) and my kids walk to school every day, play outside regularly, go skating, etc - it's not dangerous, you just have to dress properly. If you don't live in a cold climate - go to a second hand store and buy snowsuits, etc there so you aren't spending a fortune. Buy a cover for the stroller and you are set.
Feel free to PM me with any "travelling with kids" questions...good luck to you!
