The story that Onyx is number 2 on the Russian market is based on a claim by MakTsentr, the official distributor of Onyx devices in Russia. They say that Onyx products have a share of some 15% of what they call the "legal" Russian e-reader market. That number also includes the OZON Galaxy and the Globusbook, which are rebranded Onyx readers sold in Russia. (Source)

Two A61 models have been announced, both without touch screen and without WiFi. The A61S has the "traditional" VizPlex screen and seems to be already available. The other model is the "A61S Hamlet", the first in the new Shakespeare series featuring Pearl screens. This model is expected to be available in Russia next week. Let's hope the rest of the world will follow soon!

BTW, in addition to the 9,7" model they also intend to release an 8" model this year.
