Thanks for your help! Frankly speaking, I want to ask you to share our post on Facebook (it's copied from the message of Carlos), not directly post yourself.
https://www.facebook.com/russian.wikipedia/posts/10152112829598702?stream_ref=10 If it would be shared (not directly posted by you) I would be able to look for comments and answer in English/any other language if there are any question. I would also help them to comment via wiki if editors want. Russian text will be published on our Facebook page, too; but it's not necessary to repost it, I think.
