It’s a 3h flight from Moscow to Munich or less to Berlin.
Could a team like Germany simply fly home between matches of which there are 4-6 days between at least, train and eat sleep and whatever else in a compound on home soil, then fly back the day before a game?
Keep a support team in Russia for the over night stays and game day logistics and deal with whatever practices facilities they may have but may never use there, but not bother with staying a month on Russian soil.
Though there may be international press and promotional requirements around the WC as well which wouldn’t make it feasible.
England, assuming get through, have potentially Germany or Brazil in the QF.
