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.
