Moscow trains do not have AC, but Moscow climate and they way the whole system is built do not justify using AC on trains.

I concur, many of our trains here in Stockholm are of the older design built in the 70s and 80s yet they work perfectly fine so why scap them? They'll eventually get exchanged but it's not justifiable to do so only because they're not as astetically pleasing as the newer ones. The same goes for the commuter trains aswell.
