Hi. Both my husband and I have graduated from institutions in the former Soviet Union, and our daughter had to answer the same question on her application. Our 5-year degrees were evaluated in the US as MS, and I know for a fact the Moscow State University has a 5-6 year programs that are equivalent to MS. You can put “combined BS/MS degree” on your application with a single graduation date. That’s what my daughter did. Can’t advice you on PhD, though.

Good luck :)
