Reuters reports:

Clinton said she would have liked to have seen Putin but that their agendas did not coincide. Putin left for a trip to the Russian Far East and China before her arrival in Moscow.

That isn't humiliating at all. The Russian strong-man would rather go visit Siberia than meet with the U.S. Secretary of State -- another behind the scenes victory for "smart power." And this so quick on the heels of the Polish prime minister screening Hillary's late night calls. Maybe if Hillary didn't get so hysterical when people asked her to "channel her husband" she might have a little less trouble keeping foreign leaders interested.
