Hallo,
Today the Language Engineering team merged a change in MediaWiki, which
brings MediaWiki up to date with the latest version of the CLDR standard
for plural rules support. The general idea is to make plural support more
robust and standard and less dependent on our own code.
The relevant Gerrit changes are here and they have a detailed description
of the changes:
Russian:

Other languages:

Most notably, these changes affect Russian and some other Slavic languages:
Ukrainian, Belarusian, Serbian, and also some languages that have Russian
as fallback and don't have their own rules. See the details here:

The change will be deployed next week, so please take a look at the changes
and the translations ASAP.
