Comment from SomeoneElse
(continuing from changeset comment) I'm familiar with quite a few places on this list and at first glance _none_ of them appears to have a genuine Russian name. Some (e.g. Great Dunmow, Swadlincote) are little more than villages.
If there's a need to make up Russian names as a data source for something external (in this case I believe a computer game) please do that outside of OSM.
It's important because some of the places on this list (e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/27160281 ) do have more than one name - Y Fenni (Welsh) and Abergavenny (English). Those are genuine, verifiable, different (not "soundalike") names for a place. To add made-up "translations" trawled from Google dilutes the genuine, valid name information currently in OSM for e.g. Abergavenny.

Comment from Peter Mead
I do not see a valid reason why this was reverted.
Although you have a constant opposition to these changes there were several people in support when discussed on talk-gb IRC last week. -

Why don’t you write an article for the Daily Express explaining how you’re a knight in shining armour gallantly holding back against Russian in OSM?
