Hi.
Before begin bothering people I would like to know what these words mean:
"we were unable to receive a similar permission from Valek Filippov".
That is, TeX Gyre project was unable to contact with Valek or he
rejected they idea?
(I know that this mailing list is wrong place for this question but I
didn't find any additional information of TeX Gyre home page about
that.)

P.S. May be it is worth rewrite page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian
to use another font as example like Old Standard found in
http://www.thessalonica.org.ru/en/fonts.html
or DejaVu fonts.
