"but still can be used as a counter to Heavy Infantry and as a cannon fodder."

Enlighten me if I'm wrong...

I would rather use Grenadiers (They do splash damage and can hold way better against light infantry) or even Musketeers (for they can at least hold their own against any supporting cav) or a combination of both (since Russians train everything that walks on foot almost instantly).

In general, it is more beneficial for the Russians to avoid this useless unit completely.

Although the real life the Strelet (Streltsy) are actually Musketeers and were actually able to hold their own against Cavs because of they also carried Bardiche or Pollaxe these were also used as a support when firing their Muskets.)
