Russian quotation practice

[Paul B. Gallagher]

This morning, I asked:

> is this all I can expect from Russian quotation markings?

I've had a variety of private responses, which I can summarize as follows:

1) The ideal is much the same as it is here. In principle, Russian 
authors should do as I hoped they would.

2) The reality often falls short of the ideal. In practice, Russian 
authors don't always live up to these high standards.

Since all the respondents chose to write privately, I assume they do not 
wish to be quoted by name, so I'll just thank them generically here and 
personally off-list.
