I recall an article or two about this film on English Russia a few months back mostly about the filming much of the sets and tanks are real they actually filmed the tanks scenes with several real tanks according to the loose translation it seems that some Russian film makers prefer using real sets and objects when they can and CGI only when they need to.There was an article about the sets as well they showed several up close photos and they could almost fool you they built an entire couple of blocks of well... rubble.

I do not think that the director is the same for this film but I have seen the Russian film "9th Company" about VDV troops in Afghanistan and I was quite impressed the combat was very un-Hollywood in other words gritty and realistic no super ridiculous flame of death muzzle flashes no "mommy I,m dying rubbish".This film looks pretty good as well.

youtube clip about the filming in Russian but you get an idea of the effects style they prefer :
