Yes I have several of these Russian data sheets which come with the valves. They seem to have included at least one in each box, even with transistors too, although I only bought a few 1p24b so did not get one. Sometimes I notice that Russian translations to English by sellers are a bit iffy but I supose the average Russian maybe has not a great grasp of the language. The figures ought to be the same though. I have wondered, in the past, whether the Warsaw Pact countries had data sheets translated into their languages. Only a minor point but I have a box with valves which came from Eastern Europe, not Russia though, on which the Cyrillic character ж is actually written on it's side with felt-tip on the box, all other characters being OK. A little thing but I am intrigued as to whether the error was by someone who was unsure of the characters or, as we sometimes do, someone wrote it while leaning at some funny angle to the box. Little things I suppose 
It would be interesting to compare yours with others Trevor. A point to note about language and one thing that has caught me out. Sometimes when graphs are shown the graph is a direct copy of a hand plotted graph, or at least the axes are hand labelled. Russian written text is often completely different to the printed Cyrillic. Trying to translate handwritten text to printed and then using an online translator is difficult. I prefer to keep to and use Russian where I can but, not coming across it anywhere else and it only being a minor part of the hobby, learning is a very gradual process.
