Hi Sonya, there are two different extractors for Infoboxes: the MappingExtractor and the InfoboxExtractor.
The MappingExtractor uses mappings defined on http://mappings.dbpedia.org/. There are no mappings for Russian yet, but if you are motivated to create some, let us know, you are more than welcome to. ;) The InfoboxExtractor uses our initial, now three year old infobox parsing approach. This extractor extracts all properties from all infoboxes and templates within Wikipedia articles, independently of the language and should also work for Russian. Extracted information is represented using properties in the http://dbpedia.org/property/ namespace. However, the quality of these properties is, in general, worse than the mapping based properties.
