Hi Yaroslav, thanks for asking the questions, and for your amazing work done for Wiki Loves Monuments (in Russia) so far, it's greatly appreciated!
>From what I know--and I daresay I know a little bit more about that than Maarten due to my interest in Central and Eastern European countries--there are no lists of monuments in Russia from this year that were published on any of the Wikimedia projects. The only lists I managed to find are linked from <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Lists_of_European_Monuments/Russia>, but they were created last year, are very well hidden and almost completely empty, except for the few regions. There /might/ be some lists on the Russian Wikipedia, but I cannot tell where as I am sadly not able to read any Cyrillic at all. As for the local organisers, I can only confirm that they do not take part in any on-wiki discussion. Indeed, they are not active on this list, either, and I haven't heard from them for a very (very!) long time, even though I poked them many times in the past few weeks; my inbox tells me that the latest e-mail I received from them was on May 25, 2012. I also haven't heard about any plans to have a bot take care of the uploads from Russia, so I guess you can continue doing your very useful work if you still have the will and time to do so.
