I'm unsure of the politics in the alternate world, but was this an ambush, as such?

Sergei took care not to point his gun at them as he asked them to stop. Even in the face of behaviour which would have seen most modern soldiers or police aim at the driver and shout threats, Sergei continued to beckon them to stop while holding the rifle non-threatheningly.

As far as I can tell, the Cossacks with him were simply a security element and none of them seems to have been actually aiming a weapon at the PCs during Sergei's attempt to communicate.

In fact, not a single Cossack aimed a weapon at anyone until after Sergei was shot. While he was standing in the open with his gun held in a deliberately unthreathening way which rendered him defenceless. Which he had no reason to do if this was really meant to be an ambush, as he could have simply shot them from cover.
