begging style in Moscow

those persons in Moscow who ask for money in public, aka "beggars", have a very set pattern of speech, intonation and attitude in their body and voice. it rarely varies at all.
the fact is that, generally speaking, beggars in eg the USA and the UK are much more individualized and creative.
is the "begging style" in Russia set in Moscow? is it pre-Soviet? did Leo Tolstoy hear the same of begging? Pushkin? Lomonosov?
