We have heard from Leann Christenson, Tony Gamble, and Ron Van Heest. Leann's was the first response. She told me that she had forwarded your inquiry to a field herpetologist. Tony sent his response to you; I am forwarding Ron's reply. You now have many more potential resources!
Do let us know how your research progresses.
Thanks to folks for helping :-] By the way, it was really helpful for me to be able to find a photo or two of Alsophylax pipiens at the GGA website!

Ksenia's questions.....
They should first get a copy of Sczczerbak and Golubev's Geckos of
the USSR. There is an in-depth review of Alsophylax pipiens and the genus
Alsophylax. In fact Dr. Golubev, now in Seattle, Washington, did his doctoral
thesis on the relationships of the genera Alsophylax, Bunopus, and
Tropiocolotes.
Secondly, they should contact some of the Russian and American
researchers that could help them. Dr. Natalia Ananjeva at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (from St. Petersburg, Russia) would be a good start.
Lastly, there is another server limited to the study of herpetology. This
one is run out of the University of California, Davis. Julie (the Gecko
Ranch) probably knows of it. Ksenia's questions would probably be answered
there.
I look forward to reading Ksenia's research in future issues of the herp
journals (Russian Journal of Herpetology, Herpetologica, Copeia, etc..)

Peace and hope,
