I don't know about phones. I never tried to bring one in and I don't think I know anyone who has, but I'll send an email to my Russophile friends to see what they know.
My circle of friends refers to Aeroflot as "Scareoflot". A good friend of mine flew it back in the Soviet days into Kursk and thought that they had crashed on landing because of the noise on impact and the fact that both engines shut down on touchdown.
