i don't have the r (yet) but have taken night shots with the l:

1 second exposure

i got a few like this to come out clear. after roughly framing the shot
i'd shoot from my waist. all of the waist shots came out better than
ones i shot from my face. i guess this would only really be effective
with wider angles.

EDIT: sorry it was unclear: this shot taken with a Bessa L

Vow! Nice, sharp... I can't understand, which camera is used?

I wouldn't say that Bessa R is hakier. It is lighter and it can sometimes represent a bit of problem, but at low speeds even my Leica MP shakes and I consider Bessa's ergonomics a little bit better (you can manage to achieve a better grip of the body). Shaking in my case occurs usually when I press the shutter-release button. One way out of it is to get one of those fine soft-shutter releases.

With the soft shutter release and Fuji Neopan ISO 1600 low-light photography becomes much easier.
