^ can confirm - also in Moscow rn. The African/Latin/Arab approaches are really something to be enjoyed. As a tall Aussie it's fantastic to walk up and disrupt a faltering set being conducted through google translate, they initiate immediate mate guarding and you can just see the girls drying up and squirming to get away. I've also noticed most of the real competition at least from the Aussie contingents either has brought girlfriends or is so focused on getting drunk with their mates that they don't really put effort in. Basically the only guys who are having a blast with the women are guys who have the local contacts, language and cultural knowledge that they would have come here/killed it here anyway.
I'd add though that Moscow seems much less influenced than Petersburg by the world cup. Decentralization kind of prevents the large groups of desperate men congregating en masse.
