The youngster was being pulled on a sledge but the rope broke as they crossed the road.
Unaware, her mother carried on walking and the tot was hit by a reversing car as she sat in the middle of the road.
Ms Ponomaryova crossed to the other side but as she dashed back to help her child, the toddler was hit by a driver who had started to reverse.
He came to rest with the rear wheel stuck on the screaming youngster.
The shocking footage was captured by a car's on-board camera, showing how the mother realised that the rope had broken too late and ran back where she discovered the car on top of her daughter.
Incredibly, despite the full weight of the car being in the middle of the sledge the youngster survived without a scratch.
Police spokesman Nahum Andreyev said: "It was probably the thick winter clothing that saved the youngster.
"She didn't even end up with a scratch although she was pretty terrified by the whole experience and has apparently refused to get on the sledge again."
