I would setup sim-links in the main web dir for each and link them to each 
users personal account - as long as they are not set to "site admin" they 
can't get into each others space.

Sym-Link: ln -s FROM TO

From the dir /home/sites/MYSITE/web, do this:

          ln -s /home/sites/MYSITE/users/russian/web russian


You will need to make a minor change in: /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf

        # allow symlinks on MYSITE
        <Directory /home/sites/site##/>
        Options -SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +FollowSymLinks
        </Directory>
