The one who did the translation was Olga

The one who did the translation was Olga Kokoreva (IIRC). From my experience working with her, I know that she's quite knowledgeable. Nonetheless, comparing to articles here at rom.by or ixbt.com, it is much easier to understand those articles than the sample chapter of the book;). Even though my Russian is so bad, even I could tell the difference;)

Anyway, looking at the page count, it seems that the Russian version is a bit more elaborate (maybe closer to my original manuscript) than the English version because quite a lot of things has been moved to the CD-ROM in the English version due to sheer page count.
