What you will see
Balashikha is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:39:47 local time, the Moon hides 8.9% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:00:49 and ends at 13:18:30, 1 h 18 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 52° above the horizon, towards the south, so you want a clear view in that direction from Balashikha.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,852 km south-west of Balashikha.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Massah, about 2,856 km south-west, where totality lasts 1 m 06 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
