Dear Gunter,

I came across the same problem when I was last checking Maxima to see if 
it is ready for a new release. I opted NOT to corrupt the Russian docs 
for now, just tentatively drop them from the distribution build. I think 
that is the cleaner choice for the time being, until/unless someone 
whose Russian is much better than mine is willing to take a closer look. 
I know a bit of Russian but not enough to trust my skills, not even with 
AI assistance.


Viktor
