It's still used by regular cops back home with more 9mm SMG's taking up SU's role. OMON units on the other hand don't use AKSU for the most part, I've seen them patrolling the streets with SU's couple of times but if something serious was going on OMON would show up with full sized AK's.

For the main part though, OMON uses the AKSU atleast in all of the pictures and video's I have seen. Before SOBR disbanded, those guys were the real brawns of the interior forces, and it would be them armed with AK74's and even AS VAL's, hell, theres a ton of videos showing OMON units with soviet Makarovs and Stetchkins still in use, but it all depends on where you go, different parts of Russia are differently equipped, maybe I have only seen videos of small house raids and exercises where the AKSU was used.
Tank and aircraft crews can't bitch because the AKSU is the only gun they are given
, but I thought other forces are hesitant to use the AKSU because of its lack of stopping power and its inaccurate range, 9mm MP5's and Vityaz AK's provide more stopping power because they are in 9mm as you said.
