So it's not a typo because it was written by a Russian?

It's a joke; Russian doesn't have articles like English does. The omission of the article in the sentence that the OP pointed out makes it sound like it could have been spoken by a Russian character out of a Hollywood movie.

In my experience, all ESL Russians speak like Russian characters in Hollywood movies. I do find the dropped articles to be quite amusing.
