Please verify charset/encoding in Russian version of site, it’s a charset error.
Link: openSUSE.org
Page is charset=iso-8859-1, but content: openSUSE 11.2 Вышла! is in utf8.
Your remark is correct. It should be UTF-8 as it should be for all text that is to be used internationaly.
The problem is, we here at the openSUSE Forums are not responsible for Novell’s pages.
May be someone like malcolmlewis knows how to tell it to Novell.
