I‘m from Moscow and this year we didn‘t even have a proper winter. It was snowing for less than a week and all winter was around -6/+3. Right now it’s +9, so definitely will be warmer by the the end of the month. As for what to see, I‘m surprised that you‘ve picked Jasnaya Polyana, as it is much better to pick two cities of the Golden ring like Suzdal and Vladimir (they’re really close to each other) or Jaroslavl. I would suggest to spend only one day on Kremlin, another on a foot walk around Boulevard ring with cafes and bars and one for an outside trip, but close one.
As an architect I was giving some lectures about Moscow and was guiding foreigners through city, so if you have any additional questions — I’m ready to help.
