Hi!
I noticed today Commons image
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Mus_Musculus-huismuis.jpg as
illustration for article
http://www.lenta.ru/news/2007/11/02/mouse/
about newly created GMO super-mouse.
Other example is Minsk photo

In both cases attributions are far from ideal. Should we take any
actions (I mean educational one)?
Yes, this would be a good idea, especially if as you say, it is a
noteworthy source of info.
Can someone who speaks Russian send them a kind email thanking them
for using material from Commons and tell them that although the
material is under a free licencese, they should be respecting some
attribution rules?
As you point out, I think the educational path is the best.
