Maybe, but a quick look at some random Russian places suggests that the
normal way to map sidewalks there is "not at all":

A few major roads have sidewalks (especially where they're large
boulevards) but most don't have anything at all. That's just a sample
from the middle of the page of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_and_towns_in_Russia_by_population
. Not that places elsewhere are likely to be better (the UK, where I'm
from, certainly isn't).
Cheers,
