This is excellent! It's a very useful and reliable source for biographies of current public figures in the Russian-speaking world. Good to hear that it was freed, and good to hear that Wikisource became its new home.

Good day, colleagues, I want to say about our small news: Lenta.ru, one of the most popular Russian language online resources with over 600 thousand visitors daily, have developed Lentapedia, an archive about popular news. It was very popular source for Russian Wikipedia articles, but some time ago the main Lenta's editor decided to stop updating the project because of lack of traffic and publish the project under cc-by-sa 3.0. Some days ago Lenta.ru changed it's design, and there isn't any place for Lentapedia in it, so we copied all materials from Lentapedia to Wikisourse; 1993 articles.
As I said before, it's enough small news, but I hope it will be interesting there. Our post about it is there: http://wikimedia.ru/blog/2013/01/30/wikisource-spasaet-lentapedia/
