This article badly needs a better translation from the Russian original. I'd do it myself but it seems that it's impossible to edit it (for me, at least). 77.232.15.33 ( talk) 13:08, 6 June 2011 (UTC) I did manage to edit the article in the end and I started a revision of the translation. However, although I'm a professional translator, I'm not a native speaker either of English or of Russian so it wouldn't hurt if someone who is checked. 217.151.79.130 ( talk) 12:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC) reply
