It seems there is a problem with variable names. I'll have a look at this as
soon as possible.
A partial fix is in git now, but still the file can't be opened, because
of another problem further down the road. It looks as if the Russian file
is in a format newer than the one we can handle at present, so the fix is
a bit more time-consuming and I'm afraid I'll be unable to look at it
before Monday.
