Having the white line by the side of the road interrupt as "right of way" pedestrian crossing, really not something that makes any sense because it's barely visible to anybody.

Russia has even done campains in recent years to get drivers to stop for zebra crossings.

It's quite known that there are very little pedestrian crossings and peds can and will walk and cross the street just about anywhere. without any crossing

Well, I spent a bit of time there when I was working in Siberia... also if you look on google earth, you will see that the cross walk marking differ from city to city. There are zebra marking at most cross walks in the bigger cities but if you look at some of the smaller cities in Siberia, they have nothing or just a line.
