B1/B2 in admin processing for 20 months and now I've moved to another country. Should I notify post, re-apply or do something else?

This is indeed a highly unusual case. Most visa applications sent in for administrative processing are completed within 60 days, and the State Department says you should inquire with the consulate if more than 60 days has passed.

If your application is still showing in administrative processing in CEAC, then I would first contact the consular section in Moscow to ask them why your application has taken more than a year and a half to process. I would not bother emailing the address given on the embassy web site as that is answered by the third party that accepts visa applications. I would call the consular section directly on +7 (495) 745 33 88.

If you can’t get a straight answer out of the consular section, an immigration lawyer recommends your next step be to contact the State Department Visa Office. They can be reached on +1 (603) 334-0888.

After that, if you still get nowhere you will probably need help from an immigration lawyer or a member of the US Congress.
