Hi Michael,
According to our tip line at The Wikipedia Signpost, the Russian Wikipedia has some kind of notice on their front page, apparently about winning some kind of honor for the Russian-language Web. If so, congratulations! Anybody who reads Russian or knows something more about this?
FWIW, there are some English captions on some the photos at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Premia_Runeta_2006 .
Here are a few:
"Russian Wikipedia - Runet-2006 prize winner. Ajvol addressing the audience after receiving the prize." "Russian Wikipedia - Runet-2006 prize winner. Stas addressing the audience after receiving the prize." "Russian Wikipedia - Runet-2006 prize winner. Wulfson with the prize in his hand."
Ah! So that explains the addition to their logo! Congratulations to ru.wiki, anyway.
