I am going to say something apocryphal for a Flyertalker. While it would be great to get the night credit, I think it is more important to ensure you don't miss your flight out of the former Soviet republic. You can still try just leaving; however, if the front desk gives you any pushback, I recommend checking out and let the chips land wherever they do on the night credit. If your were staying at a property in the US, just leaving would work fine. Eastern Europe YMMV....
