They are locals, they'll be the BEST people to know where might not be appropriate
Also, Khimki and Krasnogorsk are not in the wilds of the oblast in the middle of nowhere. They are basically 'sleeping districts' on the edge of Moscow, so most people probably work in the city anyway. Khimki even has an Ikea, its not quite the back of beyond
Have a great trip!
