I don't think the departure of the US and Canadian forces makes much difference to the Soviet troops still west of their national borders, and don't think the KGB would much care (and certainly not be able) to keep that information under wraps.
The Soviet forces are pretty much wrecked by the last round of fighting in 2000, they've got little or no national logistical network behind them to help them along, and trying to go home is a real dicey proposition for everything from the individual up to division level movements. The most likely courses of action are organized attempts to repatriate large units, digging in and trying to work out some sort of understanding with the local populace, or disintegrating into marauder bands.
